(CNN) - Federal Judge Timothy Kelly restored the access of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico to the White House, after US President Donald Trump banned them from entering the building.

On Thursday, federal judge Timothy Kelly ordered the Trump administration to restore access to the White House to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, after President Donald Trump barred them from entering the building.

The federal judge's order came after the three US news media outlets that President Trump banned from the White House - CNN, MS NOW and Politico - filed a lawsuit to regain access to the White House.

The three news organizations said in a joint statement on Monday: “We informed the government this morning that we will file a lawsuit today to protect our rights guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution, and to defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes.”

The news organizations added: “The White House has revoked the credentials of our journalists without warning or formal action, in objection to our press coverage. Failure to address this matter threatens freedom of the press and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference.”

On Monday, CNN was excluded from the tasks of joint media coverage undertaken by major news organizations, as the network was scheduled to assume responsibility for joint television coverage and accompany the president on his trip to New York that day.

This came after Trump announced that the three institutions were banned from entering the White House due to his “dissatisfaction with their media coverage,” as press accreditation cards that allow journalists to enter the White House were cancelled.

The Trump administration is using the pretext of national security to turn Washington into a military fortress

The Trump administration is relying on national security arguments to justify costly projects in Washington, including turning the East Wing into an underground military complex, extending the deployment of the National Guard at a cost of $1.4 billion, and creating the Arc de Triomphe as a platform for snipers and drones, while targeting journalists as a security threat, despite there being no evidence of a real threat against the capital.

An unpublished draft US statement criticizing plans by Britain, France and Canada to ban settlement imports

In early September, American officials in Jerusalem and Washington prepared a draft statement attributed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, denouncing plans by Britain, France, and Canada to ban imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, describing them as hostile and anti-Semitic measures, but the statement was not published due to the lack of support from the White House and senior State Department officials, and Rubio contented himself with an implicit comment not to imitate the United Kingdom’s decision.

As Braud wrote in Responsible Statecraft, Zelensky's repeated statements about Ukraine's ability to achieve victory with additional support are the last thing Trump needs to hear before the midterm elections, as the latter seeks a diplomatic success that will avoid a crushing defeat, while Braud argues that ending the war could mean the end of Zelensky's political career in Ukraine.
