CNN, Politico and MS NOW ask judge to keep White House ban blocked until case ends

What we’re less sure of6 of 8 claims

• Medium

  The TV pool has resumed coverage and the White House decides CNN's access day by day.

  Only TIME in the sources list supports the Friday resumption and day-by-day decisions. The story states it as fact without attribution.

• Medium

  CNN, MS NOW and Politico sued Trump, chief of staff Susie Wiles and two other advisers on Sept. 22–23.

  The order summary implies Trump is a defendant ('defendants except Trump') and case 1:26-cv-03287-TJK is cited. No source description names Wiles or 'two other advisers', and the filing date range is not independently pinned.

• Medium

  Trump launched a 24/7 White House streaming feed.

  Only IJR reports a White House 'Trump TV' stream. The '24/7' detail and the attribution of the launch to Trump personally are not supported by the source descriptions.

• Low

  On Sept. 23, Judge Timothy Kelly ended a hearing on the emergency request without ruling, and 78 credentialed journalists stayed barred.

  Sources conflict on the timeline: New Jersey Monitor dates the TRO itself to Sept. 23, and a Sept. 23 video hearing is cited. No listed source supports the figure of 78 journalists.

• Medium

  After a court order, the White House readmitted reporters from all three outlets on Sept. 25.

  Readmission is supported by NPR/WAMC (the Stopperich declaration: access restored in under 3 hours) and States Newsroom. However, the WAMC report is dated Sept. 24, which conflicts with the story's Sept. 25 date.

  On Sept. 27 the White House left CNN off Air Force One and Real America's Voice took its seat for Trump's Knoxville trip; on Sept. 28 Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the ban, which is on hold until Oct. 8.

  CNN via News8000 is the only source for the AF1 episode. Real America's Voice and Knoxville are not in any source description. No listed source supports Blanche's defense of the ban or his title as Attorney General. Only the Oct. 8 hold is well supported.
