White House press ban continues as judge delays ruling

A judge has delayed ruling on a request from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico to lift a White House press ban, expressing skepticism about the administration's justification for the ban. The absence of a ruling allows the ban to continue, limiting visual coverage of the White House. The Justice Department argues that press access is a privilege, while the banned outlets claim their First and Fifth Amendment rights have been violated.
