内容摘要
- 特朗普于2024年末就一项民调提起诉讼
- 法官的裁决援引了第一修正案的保护条款
- 特朗普曾多次与媒体机构发生冲突
华盛顿9月23日路透电——爱荷华州一名法官援引第一修正案的保护条款,驳回了总统唐纳德·特朗普于2024年末提起的诉讼。该诉讼针对《得梅因纪事报》和民调机构J·安·塞尔泽,起因是后者在2024年大选前发布的一项民调显示这位共和党籍领导人支持率落后。
“从核心来看,原告的诉讼请求试图将爱荷华州成文法和普通法的适用范围过度延伸,将受到第一修正案最高级别保护的言论置于法律责任之下,”爱荷华州地区法官斯科特·比蒂在周三的裁决中表示。

曾多次在法庭内外与媒体交锋的特朗普赢得了2024年大选。
就在这起《得梅因纪事报》相关案件作出裁决的同时,另一名法官在听证会上表示,特朗普禁止CNN、MS NOW和政治报进入白宫的决定,似乎违反了联邦上诉法院此前的裁决。
特朗普曾批评2024年11月2日发布的一项民调,该民调显示民主党总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯在爱荷华州以三个百分点的优势领先他。
白宫并未立即回应就周三这项裁决置评的请求。
代表塞尔泽的言论自由组织FIRE对这一裁决表示欢迎。
“我们很高兴法院认可了我们一直以来的观点:这场诉讼从一开始就荒谬可笑,本就不该被提起,”FIRE首席法律顾问鲍勃·科恩-里维尔在一份声明中说道。
特朗普曾多次敦促广播公司停播他不喜欢的新闻节目,呼吁联邦通信委员会吊销不受其待见的广播电台的执照,对多家媒体机构提起诉讼,并禁止部分媒体进入白宫。
美国宪法第一修正案保障言论自由和新闻自由。

Summary
- Trump filed lawsuit in late 2024 over a poll
- Judge’s ruling cites First Amendment protections
- Trump has repeatedly clashed with media outlets
WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) – An Iowa judge, citing First Amendment protections, dismissed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit filed in late 2024 against the Des Moines Register newspaper and pollster J. Ann Selzer over a poll that showed the Republican leader trailing before the 2024 elections.
“At its core, the Plaintiffs’ Petition seeks to stretch both Iowa statutory and common law beyond their current bounds, turning speech that enjoys the highest category of First Amendment protection into a liability,” Iowa District Judge Scott Beattie said in the ruling on Wednesday.

Trump, who has repeatedly clashed with the media in and outside of court, won the 2024 election.
The ruling in the Register case came as another judge told a hearing that Trump’s decision to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House did not appear to comply with prior rulings by a federal appellate court.
Trump had criticized a poll published on November 2, 2024, that showed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris leading him by three percentage points in Iowa.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Wednesday ruling.
Free speech group FIRE, which represented Selzer, welcomed the ruling.

“We’re pleased that the court recognized what we’ve said all along: This lawsuit was laughable from the beginning and never should have been brought,” FIRE chief counsel Bob Corn-Revere said in a statement.
Trump has repeatedly urged broadcasters to drop news programs he dislikes, called on the Federal Communications Commission to strip disfavored broadcast stations of their licenses, filed several lawsuits against media outlets and banned some media outlets from the White House.
The US Constitution’s First Amendment grants protections for free speech and a free press.
