CNN credentials order gives court 14 days to examine a fuller record
The September 24 ruling found likely due process violations in revoked White House passes and provided temporary relief while the lawsuit continues.
The court order restoring White House credentials to CNN, MS NOW and Politico provides a temporary procedural remedy rather than a final resolution of their lawsuit. Judge Timothy Kelly's September 24 order runs for 14 days and calls for accelerated briefing on a preliminary injunction.
The decision rests on the outlets' likelihood of success under the Fifth Amendment's due process protections. Kelly found that their passes had been revoked without prior notice and an opportunity to respond, and without adequately stated standards identifying punishable conduct and sanctions.
The administration argued that national security justified acting first. The judge found the record did not establish that urgency or explain how restoring the passes would endanger security.
The order directs officials other than President Trump to restore the revoked credentials. Its limited duration gives the court time to examine an expanded record; it does not settle every constitutional claim in the case.
