Court orders White House press access restored, but reports differ on implementation
A later BBC account says reporters were excluded from dinner arrivals despite the ruling.
A judge ordered the Trump administration to restore journalists' White House access. DW reported that CNN, MS NOW and Politico subsequently regained access. BBC later reported that CNN and MS NOW said their reporters were denied access to state-dinner arrivals despite the order.
What holds up
- ✓BBC, NPR and DW report a judicial order restoring access.
- ✓BBC and DW identify CNN and MS NOW among the affected outlets.
What doesn't yet
- ?DW's account of restored access and BBC's account of exclusion leave implementation unresolved.
- ?The order's precise scope and the White House's explanation are absent.
Ask before you share
- →Did restored credentials include access to the dinner-arrivals event?
- →Do the accounts describe different times or different forms of access?
