Judge Timothy Kelly, whom Trump nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 2017, blocked Trump’s ban in a ruling early Thursday morning and ordered the White House to restore access to the three news organizations. Kelly, who in 2018 ordered then-CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s press credentials restored after the Trump administration revoked them, issued a 14-day restraining order. Such temporary restraining orders are issued before a court reviews a case more comprehensively. In the ruling, Kelly wrote that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are “likely to succeed” in demonstrating that the Trump administration had not given the outlets “adequate due process.” “The record lacks factual support for Defendants’ contention that the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes will in fact protect national security or that national security will be endangered if the Court orders their passes reinstated while this litigation proceeds,” Kelly wrote. On Friday, Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he was banning the three outlets, which promptly sued the administration. “Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America,” Trump wrote. “Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.” In response to the ban, news organizations boycotted press pool coverage of the president. Speaking in her capacity as president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich criticized Trump’s ban hours after he issued it. “The Constitution protects the freedom of the press from government interference,” she stated. “That protection does not depend on whether the president likes a news organization’s coverage, agrees with its reporting, or approves of the questions its journalists ask.”The post Trump-Appointed Judge Orders White House To Unban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico first appeared on Mediaite.

- Scott Jennings Freezes Up When Asked if Trump Has ‘A Corruption Problem’
CNN commentator Scott Jennings, who is reportedly in contention to be President Donald Trump’s next White House press secretary, awkwardly paused for several seconds when asked if Trump has “a corruption problem.” Jennings appeared on Tuesday’s edition of The Fifth Column podcast, where hosts Michael Moynihan, Kmele Foster, and Matt Welch grilled Jennings about Trump and his family’s business dealings: MOYNIHAN: Does Donald Trump and the Trump administration have a corruption problem? [Five second pause] JENNINGS: Mmm. That’s a very generic question. I mean, is there something– pretty simple? MOYNIHAN: I’ve given you the easiest possible way. If I get specific, pardons, pardon the Binance guy, for instance, World Liberty Financial coins, Russian guys paying for weddings, etc. JENNINGS: Well, I think they paid him back, but I– MOYNIHAN: Yeah, because it was covered by the media, right? JENNINGS: No, I don’t think so. MOYNIHAN: You think they were like, “We’ll get you next Tuesday”? It became a news story, and then Trump was like, they paid them back. I don’t think it was going to be. It was a gift. JENNINGS: Ok, but to a guy who’s not in the government? I mean– MOYNIHAN: So the president’s kids, I mean, you were probably pretty hard on that ne’er-do-well Biden kid. JENNINGS: Well, he literally was in the White House serving as de facto chief of staff, according to the journalism that’s come out since. MOYNIHAN: …I mean come on, the crypto stuff. FOSTER: It’s a little crazy stuff. MOYNIHAN: That’s crazy stuff. WELCH: $148 million by selling access to people at a party near the White House. FOSTER: And at a minimum, the sons, great. It’s not a Ukrainian energy company, but you opened in a club themed in a way that is evocative of the White House, that is only accessible to elites who are willing to pay quite a hefty fee. I mean, all of it at a mininum is kind of gross, right? Like there’s some taint to it. JENNINGS: I’ll be candid with you. This is not my social world. I don’t necessarily exist in that world. I’m generally– I’m just a son of a garbage man from Kentucky. But my general expectation of them is that they should follow all the applicable laws and ethics regulations, and I believe that they are. Do I think that the Democrats are going to, if they were… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - Elizabeth Holmes to Transfer to Halfway House in August 2027

Darline Graham (R-SC) carried on the family torch Wednesday, pleading with Fox News viewers to donate to her campaign. Graham is the sister of former Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who died in July. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster (R) appointed her to finish the remainder of her brother’s term, which ends in January. However, she is running for a full term of her own with the support of President Donald Trump. Graham will face Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, in November’s midterms. This week, Cook Political Report changed its classification of the race from “solid” Republican to “likely” Republican. In a three-and-a-half-minute interview on Wednesday night, Sean Hannity only asked Graham leading questions – six or seven – much like an attorney might ask a witness on direct examination. “This is a picture of [Andrews] holding up a sign, ‘Protect trans kids,'” Hannity noted. “Is that your opponent? Is that the pediatrician opponent of yours in South Carolina?” The host instructed his producer to keep the photo of Andrews with a sign supporting transgender children up for the entire segment. Here is the final exchange between Graham and Hannity, in which the candidate asks for money: HANNITY: And did she post a video of Kamala Harris saying the problem with [sic] white women? Was that also her? GRAHAM: That was also her. That was a crazy video criticizing white women for not supporting Kamala Harris, yes. I believe so. HANNITY: And she’s running in South Carolina, the home of Henry Mcmaster and your brother, and the home of Tim Scott. GRAHAM: She is. HANNITY: She’s running with those values? GRAHAM: Yes, she is. And unfortunately, the Democrats are pouring money into the state to help support her. So, I’m getting a little concerned about that. HANNITY: Money to say, “It’s not true.” Meanwhile, all the evidence is to the contrary. GRAHAM: So, I need help. darlenegraham.com, $5, $10, $20. Lindsey would be proud of me. HANNITY: I don’t doubt that and we miss your brother every day. We really do. But you’re doing a great job. I know he’s proud of you. Lindsey Graham was a frequent Fox News guest over the years and made a habit of asking viewers to donate to his campaign.
