Kochi: A court in the US has ordered the Trump administration to urgently reinstate press access for three news organisations barred from the building.Issuing the temporary order against the ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, the District of Columbia court directed restoration of their access in 14 days.The three outlets had moved the court challenging the ban as unconstitutional after their reporters were denied entry to the White House, BBC reported. The court rejected the Trump administration’s arguments accusing them of publishing false information and threatening national security.Rejecting the Trump administration’s arguments that the bans were motivated by national security concerns, the court pointed out the president made no mention of that in his initial announcement.The Trump administration cited a number of articles published by the outlets, including some about construction at the White House, including work on a new ballroom.
