In a Facebook Live interview with Breitbart, the right-wing website formerly led by chief White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer tried to downplay Thursday's decision in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. "Tonight was just a procedural ruling on the temporary restraining order. He said the White House and President Trump would "examine our legal options," and he defended the implementation of the executive order. The court declined to order the reinstatement of the president's moratorium on refugees and on travel from seven mostly Muslim countries. Trump has suggested he will appeal the case to the Supreme Court.
