A federal judge halted President Donald Trump’s ban of three major media outlets from reporting at the White House, saying the move was probably unconstitutional days after Trump’s ban was declared.

The Trump White House was ordered to return and restore press passes that were revoked from production staff and reporters at CNN, MS Now, and Politico. The move comes after several high-profile clashes between Trump and the pool or reporters assigned to cover his presidency.
