Who is Timothy J Kelly? Federal judge appointed by Trump overturns his ban on journalists, orders White House to immediately reinstate access

This isnt Federal judge Timothy J Kellys first high-profile case involving Trump and White House press access. In 2018, he temporarily restored then-CNN correspondent Jim Acostas press pass after the first Trump administration revoked it. For CNN, MS NOW and Politico, the immediate result is clear: their journalists can return to the White House while the court considers the broader case.
