A federal judge has extended an order blocking the Trump administration from banning reporters for three news outlets from the White House, as the extraordinary case pitting the president against the media makes its way through the legal system. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that CNN, MS NOW and Politico are  likely to succeed on their constitutional free speech and due process claims. Kelly, who was nominated to the bench by Republican President Donald Trump, previously ordered the White House to restore the reporters’ “hard pass” press credentials while he weighed their claims. With that temporary order due to expire on Tuesday, the judge issued a preliminary injunction that preserves the status quo while the case is pending
