The Trump administration has informed a federal judge it will appeal the recent decision restoring White House access to journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and the online publication Politico. President Donald Trump had previously declared these news organizations “persona non grata,” effectively revoking their credentials. The judge’s ruling had guaranteed access until further notice. This appeal signals the administration’s intention to continue contesting the media outlets’ presence within the White House. AFP reports the notification was delivered to the judge on Wednesday. The move underscores the ongoing tension between the Trump administration and select members of the press. This legal battle centers on the White House's authority to determine which journalists receive press access.
