CNN、MS NOW与Politico遭白宫拒之门外,尽管法官已下令恢复采访资格

华盛顿9月24日电(路透社)——周四,CNN、MS NOW和Politico的记者被白宫拒之门外,而就在数小时前,一名联邦法官认定美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对这三家新闻机构的禁令很可能违宪,并下令立即恢复它们的采访权限。

这些新闻机构已请求美国地区法官蒂姆·凯利尽快举行听证会。凯利前一晚作出的裁决要求暂停执行该禁令14天,对特朗普来说是一次重大打击。这是过去一周在法庭和白宫场地接连上演的一系列新闻自由对抗事件的最新一幕。

凯利认定,吊销这些记者的白宫采访证件“很可能侵犯了他们受宪法保障的正当程序权利”。

这位法官是特朗普在首届总统任期内于2017年任命的,他还对美国司法部为该禁令辩护的国家安全理由提出质疑,并指出特朗普本人曾表示,采取这一行动是因为总统声称这些媒体发布了虚假或负面报道。

然而,就在裁决公布数小时后,这些媒体仍未能进入白宫。目前尚不清楚这是故意违抗凯利的命令,还是白宫安保人员和安保系统出现了混乱。

白宫代表未立即回应置评请求。

Politico称其记者的证件被没收,而MS NOW的一名记者表示她被阻止进入白宫。CNN称其部分工作人员被拒绝进入白宫场地。

特朗普上周五在其社交媒体平台上宣布了这项禁令,称这些新闻机构“在报道美国总统时,不应能够持续撰写或传播虚构内容和谎言”。特朗普将它们的报道定性为对美国国家安全的威胁。

这三家媒体周一起诉特朗普及其政府其他成员,称该禁令违反了美国宪法第一修正案对言论自由和新闻自由的保护,以及它们的正当程序权利。包括路透社在内的一个新闻自由联盟和数十家新闻机构随后提交了法律简报,支持这三家媒体。

国家安全担忧

凯利下令特朗普政府立即归还这些媒体的采访证件,并停止执行该禁令两周。法官驳回了政府声称的国家安全担忧。

“现有记录无法支持被告的主张,即吊销原告的实体证件实际上会保护国家安全,或者在诉讼进行期间法院下令恢复他们的证件会危及国家安全,”凯利写道。

在周二提交的一份文件中,司法部指责这些媒体的报道威胁到国家安全,并援引了有关美国导弹储备、特朗普白宫舞厅建设以及最近共和党中期党代会出席人数的报道。

代表三家媒体的律师西奥多·布特罗斯在一份声明中对法官的裁决表示欢迎,他说:“这是一项强有力的裁决,维护了新闻自由、正当程序和法治。我们非常感谢法院迅速采取行动。”

在特朗普颁布禁令后,白宫记者团的其他成员——这些记者共享资源追踪美国总统的行踪——拒绝录制或转播他的活动,直到CNN、MS NOW和Politico的采访权限恢复,以示对同行记者的声援。

这一情况发生在特朗普本周在联合国发表讲话并接待中国国家主席习近平访美之际,包括周四在白宫举行的活动。

周四上午习近平抵达白宫南草坪时,没有设置电视 pool 摄像机,福克斯新闻、MS NOW和CNN也未直播两国领导人的欢迎仪式。

与媒体的紧张关系

尽管其他几届总统政府也曾与媒体发生过冲突,但特朗普对媒体的围剿前所未有。他颠覆了数十年的传统,白宫拒绝许多主流新闻机构的基本采访权限,对记者发起人身攻击,并对多家新闻机构提起多起诉讼。

凯利的裁决出台的前一天,特朗普遭遇了另一起法律挫折。

周三,爱荷华州一名法官驳回了特朗普2024年对《得梅因纪事报》和民调专家J·安·塞尔策的诉讼。特朗普起诉《纪事报》、其母公司甘尼特集团和塞尔策,原因是该报在2024年11月美国大选前发布的一项民调显示民主党总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯在爱荷华州领先于他。特朗普指控该报及其长期合作的民调专家欺骗读者。

在周三的裁决中,爱荷华州地区法官斯科特·比蒂表示,该民调属于受法律保护的言论。

CNN, MS NOW and Politico denied access to White House despite judge’s order

2026-09-24T12:23:00.37Z / Reuters

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists were ​barred from the White House on Thursday, just hours after a federal judge deemed US President Donald Trump’s ban of the three news outlets likely unconstitutional and ordered their access ​immediately restored.

The news organizations responded by requesting an immediate hearing before US District Judge Tim Kelly, whose ruling overnight ordered a halt to the ban for 14 days in a major setback for Trump. It is the latest in a series of confrontations over press freedom that have played out over the past week in the courtroom and White House grounds.

The Misinformation Monitor newsletter rounds up international misinformation narratives, with a “Real or Fake?” quiz in every edition. Sign up here.

Kelly found that the revocation of the White House credentials of the journalists “likely violated their constitutional due process rights.”

The judge, who ​Trump appointed in 2017 during his first presidential term, also raised doubts about the US Department of Justice’s national security arguments for justifying the ban, noting that Trump himself had ​said the action was due to what the president alleged was false or negative coverage.

Just hours after the ruling, however, the outlets still had not gained ⁠access to the White House. Whether that was due to intentional defiance of Kelly’s order or a matter of confusion within the White House security staff and systems remained unclear.

Representatives for the White House ​did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Politico reporter’s credentials were confiscated, Politico said, while an MS NOW reporter said she was blocked from the White House. CNN said some of its staff ​members were denied entry onto the grounds.

Trump announced the ban last Friday on his social media platform, saying those news organizations “shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States.” Trump framed their reporting as a threat to US national security.

The three outlets sued Trump and other members of his administration on Monday, saying the ban violated the US Constitution’s First Amendment protections for free speech and a free ​press, as well as their due process rights. A coalition of press freedom groups and dozens of news organizations, including Reuters, later filed a legal brief supporting the three news outlets.

NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS

Kelly ordered ​the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and stop enforcing the ban for two weeks. The judge rejected the administration’s stated national security concerns.

“The record lacks factual support for defendants’ contention that the revocation of ​plaintiffs’ hard ⁠passes will in fact protect national security or that national security will be endangered if the court orders their passes reinstated while this litigation proceeds,” Kelly wrote.

In a filing on Tuesday, the Justice Department accused the outlets of threatening national security with their coverage, citing stories about US missile stockpiles, construction of Trump’s White House ballroom and turnout at the recent Republican midterm convention.

Theodore Boutrous, an attorney for the three outlets, welcomed the judge’s decision in a statement, saying: “This is a strong ruling vindicating freedom of the press, due process and the rule of law. We greatly appreciate the court’s swift action.”

In the wake of ​Trump’s ban, other members of the White House press ​pool of reporters who share resources to ⁠follow the US president’s movements have refused to record or disseminate his events until access is restored for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, acting in solidarity with their fellow journalists.

This occurred as Trump spoke at the United Nations and hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington this week, including events at the ​White House on Thursday.

There were no TV pool cameras set up for Xi’s arrival on the White House’s South Lawn Thursday morning, and FOX News, ​MS NOW and CNN did ⁠not air the two leaders’ arrival ceremony live.

TENSIONS WITH THE PRESS

Although other presidential administrations have battled with the press, Trump’s campaign against the media has been unprecedented. Upending decades of tradition, his White House had denied basic access to many major news organizations, launched personal attacks on journalists and filed multiple lawsuits against news organizations.

Kelly’s ruling came a day after Trump experienced another legal setback.

On Wednesday, an Iowa judge dismissed Trump’s 2024 lawsuit against ⁠the Des Moines ​Register newspaper and pollster J. Ann Selzer. Trump sued the Register, its parent company Gannett and Selzer over a poll ​published ahead of the November 2024 US election that showed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris leading him in Iowa. Trump accused the newspaper and its longtime pollster of fraudulently misleading readers.

In his ruling Wednesday, Iowa District Judge Scott Beattie said the poll was ​legally protected speech.
