The mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, allegedly branded herself a "MILF," made cracks about the size of her police chief's penis, framed doctored pics emphasizing his bulge, and twice put her hand high on his thigh ... and now he's suing her for sexual harassment.

She allegedly said ... "Oh, I thought it said MILF so maybe I could get one" ... but Henry apparently wasn't amused, giving her a hard pass and walking 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.
