A federal judge ruled against the White House and ordered President Trump and Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham to immediately restore the press credentials of Playboy columnist Brian Karem

"Karem has shown that even the temporary suspension of his pass inflicts irreparable harm on his First Amendment rights," US District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras wrote in his opinion.Karem's attorney, Ted Boutrous, told CNN he was"very pleased" with the court's decision.

" But, she wrote,"Taking no action, on the other hand, would be insufficient."Karem is the second reporter who has had his hard pass suspended by the Trump administration. Last year the White House without warning revoked the hard pass of Jim Acosta, CNN's chief White House correspondent.CNN took the White House to court. A key argument was that the White House had violated Acosta's due process rights when it revoked his access without warning.

His suspension was over in a week anyway. Think the WH got their message across. Note: Judge Conteres is the same judge that was removed from the Gen Flynn case because of his ties to Peter Strzok. DrainTheSwamp

You need to stop making a big deal out of everyday things President Trump does. Where is “RESPECT” for the President? If you did this in other countries you would probably be jailed. RespectthePresident

AprilDRyan Good

AprilDRyan Is that the news media Acosta works for?

And all you twits think this actually matters politically.

RealDLHughley He only works there for the stories.

What if he ends press conferences?

Federal judge has no jurisdiction over the security of the executive branch 🤷

chuckwoolery is going to be offended by this ruling.

I understand why they did this, but who's buying playboy magazines to read about politics?

I love Donald and find him sezxy

Another friggin lib Judge making a decision that goes against the WH . Big surprise!

Politics Judge may have gotten a promise for a 'bunny' hookup but Brian can say he meant a real rabbit

Tell the judge the credentials will not be restored.

People (so called journalists) that never learned how to act in public do NOT deserve 'due process'

Scumbags stick together.

It's now cool to threaten violence against someone in the White House rose garden with impunity because of 'journalism.' Congrats guys, really standing up for the rights of the press to vow assaults on Trump supporters.

Great!!! This continued WH and TRUMP GOP Assualt on our free press needs to stop!!! It Violates our constitution!!! It shows that this TRUMP GOP wants total dictator status!!! Now congress is next standby for TRUMP Declaration, that he is on total control not Our congress!!!

Sick. Freedom of press =/= freedom of access.. This is a bad precedence What is next the right to storm into people's house

Another politically motivated judge !

Free speech for this hack, but other people are physically attacked for simply wearing a hat or t-shirt supporting the President.

Hope this person is given the butthead treatment. No chair, standing all the time. Search EVERYTHING they have 3x. Have a dog make several passes. Train dog to sniff their crotch.

Judges should stay out of this issue. Respect the WH and the president and no pro.

Trump would like nothing better than a Playboy columnist to do interviews of his wife Melania.

It still won’t help your ratings 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

The new press secretary must have been drunk.

Is Playboy still the most boring men’s magazine ever? Most men’s magazines suck, but Playboy has always seemed to be the worst. I need to start my own magazine.

SebGorka must be throwing a temper tantrum

And how much did this cost the American tax payers, aside from what Brian had to pay. Will he be reimbursed for attorney and court costs with more of our tax dollars? This corrupt, lawless administration is breaking us.

cnn, please describe what you mean as 'press credentials', did Trump have his degree rescinded, did he get him fired from his job, or did he just remove him from the white house gaggles. I believe Trump has a right to invite or disinvite anyone he chooses from the WH.

I don’t trust this Rudolph judge at all. He’s an Obama appointee and I feel he plays politics. This isn’t his first ruling I feel sketchy about. The 1A does not let you threaten to take someone outside (which we all know means to fight). Seriously, what kind of ethical judge.....

How many times do you think he’ll be called on in press briefings?

That is winning! Freedom of the press. And it was Gorka who was the jerk.

As usual, mouth breathing, compensating-for-something, overly aggressive oafs in Trumps orbit are rebuked by the law.

This isn't a 'win!' Karem's hard pass was only suspended until 9-14. And that's when he'll get it back. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Such an upstanding human. Screaming at other press members because “Trump”

So a tittie magazine gets a press pass reinstated after an altercation with another journalist. Great

doesn’t have a right to even be in the press Corp. just ban the whole network from it. Potus can speak to who he wants to.

Old guard / Obama judge, no doubt.

Is this the same Contreras who was abruptly removed from the Flynn case?

Hmmm let’s see how the disruptive Hack does onappeals

Unbelievable, that we have such ignorant judges.

Since when does a judge run the White House? There are about 10+ White House press people who should never be called on... Should be shunned! Karem, Acosta, April Ryan for starters! They're not journalists, they're anti-Trump propaganda machine punks! .WhiteHouse

Excellent.

That Stephanie, is no good.

The need to jerk off while reading the news. Keep on touching judge.

AprilDRyan Yes!! Haha

Obama did a good job appointing brain dead judges. If the journalist behavior would not be accepted in your house, then it should not be acceptable in the President’s house. Challenging a spokesman to a fight seems a legitimate reason to bar someone.

Good for you BrianKarem

And it’s 1A for the win! Suck it, Stephanie!

Grammitude55 congratulations BrianKarem

Trump’s reaction to the news hehe

thecarol55 Wonderful, terrific, great, fantastic! Trump is way out of bounds to attempt to remove pass for Press! It’s not their job to be liked or accepted by him!

It’s funny This president does not like Playboy considering most of his girlfriends are in the porn industry.

Oh good the carnival barker is back. Drunk 🤡

BSmithTweet Why does anyone treat Grisham as though she is a real PressSec

I didn’t see this reaction from the left when Obama threw the press out of the press room for asking questions he didn’t like.

Waitukubuli1 😂😂😂 has president tweety tweeted yet 😂😂😂

What a great news topic!

Had no idea he wrote for Playboy

This a great news! Because I read Playboy for the articles!

Why tho? The guy literally asked to step outside and start a fight. The fuck is wrong with politics. Bunch of “I’m better then you” people trying to shit on the other side. The dude was acting unprofessional in a press meeting at the White House.

Brian the jerk off ? That Brian ?

A Barack Obama judge, exercising the usual left-wing bias, issued a ridculous opinion, once again turning the First Amendment upside down. There, fixed the headline for you.

Must have been a judge appointed by Obama.

I’m all for freedom of the press, but he was being a total piece of garbage that day, and it’s all on video. Well, at least he has warning now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

8=======D

You always know when a judge is a liberal. When no one on CNN states anything about him or who appointed him. If he were a Bush appointee that would lead the story, but not so with a Clinton or Obama appointee.

But NO obama judge can possibly rule that playboy “columnist” Brian Karem has anything more than 💩 for brains. That doesn’t change.

1st amendment, baby...

Freedom of the press has ZERO to do with the President or the white house No one has the Constitutional right to be at the white house The BEHAVIOR policy was written after your last moron reporter

Okay Brian a win for free press

Judicial tyranny continues unabated

Why?

Well he better keep his mouth shut & show some respect or he will be out again...

AprilDRyan Brian should be fired for being an obnoxious 🐗.

AprilDRyan More WINNING WhiteHouse? He was right about one thing... I'm sick of it and so are MILLIONS of Americans. Drastic times call for BernieSanders. Bernie2020

It’s cool he just won’t be recognized and it will be like he’s not there 🤷‍♂️

AprilDRyan realDonaldTrump This means you lose and Brian Karem is VINDICATED. Who is the fake now?

Hey SebGorka looks like you telling teacher on him didn’t work. Womp womp. Thoughts and prayers there super chief.🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seb Gorka: the man working for Victor Orban (Putin’s most important person in Europe). Aka, Seb Gorka: Putin’s former inside man in the White House

BrianKarem Congratulations🙋💕👏🙆

Playboy press pass restored.. Ribbed or lubricated?

APPEAL APPEAL APPEAL

This White House’s argument was that the reporter 'clearly breached well-understood norms of professional conduct'? 🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Once again the Trump WH is stopped from trying to remove someone's 1st Amendment rights. Dictator Trump continues to ignore the Constitution & instead force his own unlawful rules on those that cross him. He will never win! TrumpIsADisgrace TrumpIsUnfit VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

This guy is a complete hack and a joke. Just like CNN.

empowergracewi Womp Womp

Imagine reading this headline in the 90s.

Wow, another Barack Hussein Obama appointee. Go figure.

Activist judges are a stain on our country.

Hurrah! Naa-naa-na-naa-naaa! 👍🏼

Good. Now take away Gorka’s right to be in this country. We do not need people like him.

The Press is out of control! We watched them kiss Obama's feet for 8 years, and now, we all have to put up with their abusive behavior!

And if they don’t the federal judge will do what? I’d ask him to see if he has the power to enforce his order.

I hope he makes the most out of his 15min. Book deal? Hopefully he took notes from Acosta.

There goes any civility in the media pool!

This felon? PressSec

When I was a kid the federal govt refused to allow Playboy to be sent through the mails.

Judge doesn't have to put up with him 🙄🙄🙄

Brian will remain a douche bag... just ignore the man child FakeNewsCNN

Victory TrumpResignNow

Contreras is not a real judge. He is a Fake Jude. His rulings are pointless.

This is not news.

Thoughts and prayers.

HNTurtledove Hahahahahahahaha! 😁

Great news. Sebastian Gorka is a domestic terrorist

President Ann Diener Gold & Money Back Constitutionalism, Trump is long deposed for 9/11 & I got my last suspect Elizabeth of Windsor, confirms it, Elizabeth of Windsor. 'Let us begin (Gordon Duff) we did all of those buildings,' she said. OversightDems

Thank God the courts or at least smart enough to realize that certain things should not be tampered with

I hope you get to keep this court sketch BrianKarem !!

And if they don’t? then what? Or change their mind again?

Now can someone tell me..... Who was that british twat fighting with him?

Thankful to see this. It restores a bit of hope to the never ending nightmare of news coming out of the White House. Gorka and all his blowhard arrogance should get his pass revoked.

Go back to Playboy and take with you

BrianKarem Good for you. Make up for lost time!

Complete the story, an Obama era judge... ruled against the White House... pretty much the whole story right there. Partisan judges appointed by Obama

realDonaldTrump SebGorka WhiteHouse BURN!!!!

Ridiculous. Next we will have Commie Federal Judges telling us we have to allow that hated and despised sibling to come over at Thanksgiving. White House should be allowed to distribute and revoke Press Passes as they deem necessary, not some candy ass judge.

Gosh...SG will probably cry into her martini (or whatever) tonight--just don't drive! Or make sure you are picture-ready!

Wait till Steph sobers up....

ecclesias I expect Grisham is getting more drunk than usual after this decision

If the Judge is not going to let the White House do a 30 day suspension for a special privilege press pass, then I guess the press pass is not special. The WH press secretary needs to hire a referee and setup a penalty box. Oh no, the referee called fail, go sit in the box.

BrianKarem and previously acosta rightfully win these skirmishes but their antics are losing the media war. CNN's ratings are terrible. Poll after poll show public distrust of the media. Even brianstelter got it right … via mediaite

RealReliableSources would add “his 30 day suspension was up and his pass was already restored.”

Awesome. I only subscribe to Playboy for the articles.

505 days until January 20, 2021.

potus 😆 😂 🤣

Thank You to the Federal Judge

Too bad it’s not “Freedom of the Factual (or Truthful) Press”!

Brian Stephanie

Keep suspending it. Make him go to court.

LMAO!!! BrianKarem CONGRATS!!! The Dictator at the WhiteHouse thinks this is NorthKorea or Russia. We will soon FireTrump2020 !!! realDonaldTrump is a joke!!!

the dude tried to start a fight in the rose garden ffs, he should be banned permanently

Can the judge order PressSec to actually hold press briefings? She is stealing $180,000 in taxpayer money. She does nothing!!!!!

Another Obama judge resists. Just wait until the next DEM president. These are all precedents now!

It’s called free speech!

An Obama judge for sure and they DONT HAVE TO allow him ANY questions and if he threatens SebGorka again, he should be ARRESTED and taken to jail

'Obama appointed judge'
