The new filing by the 3 media orgs re continued violation of J. Kelly's order: note this could result in Judge Kelly finding CIVIL contempt, which should not be subject to a Trump pardon, and its sole purpose is to coerce compliance with the ct order and can include daily mounting fines and jail.

Judge lifts Trump's White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico
A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump on Thursday to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional. In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on September 18. Trump had said on social media that the three outlets "shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES," and Justice Department lawyers had sought to justify the ban on national security grounds

Before midnight, DOJ told Judge Kelly the press ban of CNN, MSNow, Politico is based on their National Security reporting. But examples are core First Amendment protected reporting. First howler: WH says it is b/c POLITICO reported GOP Convention was a political disaster.

The three news orgs sue the Trump administration today, seeking an injunction immediately. They will surely prevail, given the blatant illegality - which the Trump administration has to have known. Yet no known official refused to enforce the blatantly illegal order- that in fact is the story here.
