CNN, MSNBC, Politico seek emergency hearing after White House blocks court-ordered access

Three major U.S. media outlets filed an emergency motion after White House officials again barred their journalists, allegedly violating a federal judge's order to restore access. The dispute escalates a confrontation between the executive branch and the judiciary over press access, with the court now likely to rule on contempt or enforcement. This marks a notable test of judicial authority over White House press operations.
