9:31 AM PT -- Politico and MS NOW have also now been allowed back in the White House.
9:07 AM PT -- CNN has been allowed back into the White House.
President Trump apparently didn't get the memo ... CNN and POLITICO say their reporters are still being denied access to the White House despite a judge ordering the administration to restore access.
As you know, the judge threw his support behind CNN, POLITICO and MS NOW by ruling Thursday that their journalists should immediately have their press credentials returned so they could enter the White House and cover the commander-in-chief.
The ruling came in early Thursday, but when CNN and POLITICO reporters showed up to the White House to do their jobs, they reportedly were turned away.
A federal judge has just ruled in favor of the news outlets the Trump administration kicked out of the White House.
Judge Timothy J. Kelly backed CNN, MS NOW and Politico in their fight against the executive branch. According to a ruling filed early Thursday morning, Kelly ruled the reporters' press credentials were revoked without providing "constitutionally adequate due process."
Kelly stated in the filing ... "The 'general rule' is that 'individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard before the Government deprives them' of a constitutionally protected interest."
He'd previously noted the White House didn't give the reporters kicked out due process before revoking their access to the building, which he said runs counter to precedent.
The filing states the "hard pass" press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked shall be "immediately" returned, reinstated, and restored until further Order of the Court or the expiration of the Temporary Restraining Order -- which is set to remain in effect for 14 days.
It was all Natalie Harp's fault that 3 major news organizations got banned from the White House ... after she reportedly showed President Trump clips of TV hosts ripping him.
Natalie put the final nail in the coffin for CNN, MS NOW and Politico when she showed the commander-in-chief all the negative stories the 3 media outlets had published about him ... according to the Wall Street Journal.
In particular, Natalie focused on TV news anchors bashing the administration during their broadcasts -- and Trump had seen enough by Friday, after watching an unfavorable MS NOW report.
House SpeakerMike Johnsonsays America's top A.I. executives need to sit down with Congress and hash out safety rules -- as warnings about artificial intelligence potentially threatening humanity grow louder.
Johnson made the comments to CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday, saying lawmakers need to work with the companies developing the technology to establish guardrails.
He acknowledged the increasingly serious concerns being raised by A.I. leaders, but said putting development on hold isn't the answer. The biggest reason ... China.
A.I. researcher Jacob Coxon says we don't have to worry about artificial intelligence wiping out the world ... yet.
Coxon sat down with Anderson Cooper just one day after his viral warning to say that where A.I. stands currently, is not a threat to civilization ... but the rate at which it's improving on itself is what's terrifying.
Kurt Busch opened up about his brother Kyle's sudden death in a new interview ... and he's clearly still stunned by the development -- especially because he insists no one knew how sick he was.
The NASCAR star opened up about Kyle's final days in an interview on Anderson Cooper's "All There Is" podcast ... telling the veteran journalist that people around Kyle noticed he had a little cough -- but he seemed totally fine otherwise.
He notes Kyle won a race -- the 2026 Ecosave 200 Craftsman Truck Series race at Dover Motor Speedway -- days before he died ... and even visited an indoor go-kart track with his son two days before he passed.
Kurt says these aren't the actions of a man so close to death ... and one look at him shows he's still shocked.
CNN made a pretty big blunder during their coverage of Dolly Parton's death ... showing a pic of an impersonator instead of the real deal ... and now the cable news giant is apologizing.
The embarrassing flub went down Tuesday night ... CNN was airing a montage of Dolly photos, and they mistakenly included an image of Las Vegas impersonator Kelly Vohnn.
The photo hit airwaves during "Laura Coates Live" ... about 12 hours after Dolly's family announced the iconic artist's death ... so it wasn't like CNN was rushing to put together a TV package here.
Don says he's shocked because of everything Harry and Meghan put the public through after their famous Oprah interview, where Meghan alleged racism from senior members of the Royal Family.
He throws a "Good luck, whatever," their way ... not exactly a full-throated expression of support, though he does note he gets where they're coming from as an interracial couple.
Eric Trump says his father's right-hand woman Natalie Harp got the good genes in her family ... taking a savage swipe at her estranged brother after his CNN appearance.
Eric tore into Preston Harp Wednesday morning over his appearance on CNN's "OutFront" with Erin Burnett Tuesday night ... calling the whole thing "absolute trash."
But he wasn't done. Eric praised Natalie as an "incredible young woman," a cancer survivor and "arguably one of the hardest-working people in the White House" ... saying she's deeply committed to his father, her job and the country.
Then came the dagger ... "From the looks of it, she got all the family genetics."
The NAACP joined Nolan Wells' family in their legal fight for answers ... and the organization is saying enough is enough as questions swirl about the teen's mysterious death.
The NAACP said Monday it has offered additional investigative resources to Nolan's family ... demanding "truth and transparency" in the case that's captivated the nation.
As you know, Nolan went missing after taking a boat out to Horn Island with friends on the Fourth of July. His body was found days later in the water, near where he was last seen alive.
Luigi Mangione seemed to finally feel the full weight of his crime in court, becoming emotional during the proceedings ... so says the sketch artist.
Christine Cornell -- who has sketched Luigi numerous times during his legal journey -- said on CNN he's always seemed distant in the courtroom ... listening intently to the hearings but not conveying any feeling.
She likens him to a husky ... a beautiful dog -- but it's impossible to tell exactly what they're thinking.
Rep. Haley Stevens says Rep. Tom Tiffany has only one thing on his mind as he runs for governor of Wisconsin ... changing hunting laws so he can hunt wolves!!!
The Congresswoman from Michigan appeared on CNN Wednesday morning to discuss the Democratic primary for her neighboring state's gubernatorial election in an interview that quickly went off the rails ... when she started howling about Tiffany's alleged wolf hunting obsession.
Rep. Stevens says all of her interactions with Rep. Tiffany, the GOP nominee for Wisconsin governor, have taught her three things ... he's a nice guy, is deeply conservative and his big priority is wolves.
Rep. Max Miller tried to explain away the leaked photo of his undressed 2-year-old daughter that was made available on social media for over a day ... but Jake Tapper wasn't letting him have it both ways.
The Congressman from Ohio joined the CNN host Tuesday afternoon ... where Tapper pressed him about a public Dropbox his team released over the weekend in an effort to prove he is a good dad to the daughter he shares with his ex-wife Emily Moreno -- including the sensitive photo, which Miller said was part of a child protective services investigation.
Rep. Miller bristled at Tapper calling the leak "shockingly reckless" ... insisting the controversy had been yanked out of context and turned into a salacious headline.
8/2/2026 2:28 PM PST -- A spokesperson for CNN tells TMZ ... Dana Bash is a veteran journalist who conducted a newsmaking interview with Secretary Kennedy in which he stated that he supports parents getting their children vaccinated against measles and addressed President Trump’s push for further study into autism and vaccines. Asking tough, substantive questions to those in power is the job of every journalist, and Dana did hers incredibly well today. We stand behind Dana, her reporting, and CNN’s overall coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dana Bash turned CNN’s "State of the Union" into a heated debate Sunday, with the HHS secretary and the anchor clashing over COVID, vaccines, public health, and autism research.
Watch the clip, as things got tense when Bash pressed Kennedy about his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci and asked how he would handle a future pandemic. RFK Jr. said protecting constitutional rights would be his top priority ... arguing that one of the mistakes made during COVID was “suppressing” those rights.
Bash pushed back, saying she was asking about a public health crisis -- not a constitutional rights debate -- that’s when Kennedy fired back saying “Because you were part of the problem.”
Kaitlan Collins appears to be brushing off President Donald Trump's "tribute" to her ... posting a pointed quote on social media just hours after he took aim at her during the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The CNN Chief White House Correspondent shared a post to her Instagram following the event Saturday with photos of her and longtime CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on the carpet ... adding a not-so-subtle Eleanor Roosevelt quote which read, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
The post came less than a day after Trump singled Collins out while speaking at Friday night's event at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump couldn't duck these two words -- Jeffrey Epstein -- at Friday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner -- and it made for a seriously awkward moment.
The moment came when CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer announced that The Wall Street Journal had won the 2026 Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability for the newspaper's big scoop on Trump's past relationship with Epstein -- the late convicted pedophile financier.
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
Trump just smiled and shrugged his shoulders after Blitzer told the crowd the prez had filed a $20 billion lawsuit against The Journal, which included the home address of Khadeeja Safdar -- one of the reporters on the groundbreaking story.
