White House readmits CNN after court blocks media ban

The White House readmitted CNN to the grounds on Thursday after a federal court blocked the president from barring CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the grounds.Trump had issued the ban after complaining about alleged “fake news” from the networks, which subsequently sued.
CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins confirmed she had been readmitted on Thursday afternoon. MSNOW and Politico also confirmed it had been readmitted at roughly the same time.
The White House Correspondents’ Association confirmed the bans and several networks declined to cover the pool in protest. 
President Donald Trump, for his part, seemed to know the court’s would rule as they did, fretting on social media after the outlets drew D.C. District Judge Tim Kelly, who previously sided with CNN during Trump’s first term in a dispute over the ouster of Jim Acosta.
