Trump to appeal order blocking White House from banning MS NOW, CNN and Politico

The Department of Justice on Wednesday filed notice that it is appealing a federal judge's order blocking the White House from enforcing its ban on MSNBC, CNN and Politico.

The notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit came less than a day after U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that the three outlets targeted by President Donald Trump can keep their access to the White House complex.

That ruling, a preliminary injunction, replaces Kelly's temporary restraining order against the ban Trump first announced in mid-September. It is not a final ruling in the ongoing lawsuit that the three news outlets filed against Trump, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, U.S. Secret Service Director Sean Curran and White House communications director Steven Cheung.
