: A federal judge on Monday refused to immediately order the White House to restore The ' access to presidential events, saying the news organization had not demonstrated it had suffered irreparable harm in the matter. But he urged the government to reconsider its two-week-old ban, saying that case "is uniformly unhelpful to the White House.”

AP News · Judge won't immediately restore AP's access to White HouseBy Matt Sedensky

U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden’s decision was only for the moment, however. He told attorneys for the admin & the that the issue required more exploration before ruling.

McFadden peppered both sides with questions during arguments over a lawsuit the AP filed Friday saying that its rights were being violated by the ban, which began gradually 2 weeks ago.

@Nonilex I seems to me that AP has actually gained credibility while also making the Trump administration look petty and absurd. Also, Trump news briefings are mostly piffle and nonsense anyway. So, I agree with the judge.
