> A federal judge extended White House access for CNN, MS Now and Politico, finding that President Donald Trump likely acted unlawfully by barring them from briefings because of their reporting. The judge rejected the Justice Department’s national security rationale, saying the record did not show that was Trump’s reason for the ban.
