CNN and MS NOW reporters have been allowed back into the White House after they sought an emergency court order to restore their revoked press access.

They accused the White House in a court filing of having "repeatedly violated" a judge's ruling overturning President Donald Trump's ban on three media outlets.

CNN and MS NOW were granted access back into the White House after some of their staff were turned away on Thursday morning. The third outlet in the ban, Politico, has yet to say if its entry was restored.

MS NOW reported that its White House reporter Laura Barrón-López and a producer were barred and had their passes taken, but another MS NOW producer was allowed in.
