White House Defies Court Order on Press Access; Media Ban Escalates

This non-compliance marks a significant escalation in the executive branch's conflict with the judiciary over press freedom, despite an earlier partial concession allowing CNN access. The situation tests judicial authority and the limits of presidential control over media access.
