华盛顿讯 —— 美国司法部以及CNN、MS NOW和Politico的律师将于周四重返法庭,这场围绕特朗普总统决定将三家新闻机构的记者排除在白宫之外的法律争端仍在继续。特朗普称,这三家媒体负面报道其政府是实施禁令的原因。
美国地区法官蒂莫西·凯利目前正在考虑是否为这些新闻机构提供长期救济。此前,凯利已于上月签发命令,暂时叫停特朗普的禁令,并要求白宫恢复相关记者进入白宫园区的权限。
凯利签发的临时限制令将于周四到期。
这三家新闻机构的律师目前正敦促凯利发布初步禁令,在案件审理期间阻止白宫剥夺这些媒体及其记者进入白宫的权限。
“白宫每日都有至关重要的新闻曝出,这项禁令将严重干扰原告方的新闻报道工作,”他们在一份诉状中辩称,“该禁令也对所有新闻媒体机构造成了损害——如今,只要进行基于事实的独立报道,而这些报道被总统认定为不够有利,媒体就有可能遭遇同样的命运。”
在临时禁令中,凯利表示,这些新闻机构很可能会成功主张自己被剥夺了正当法律程序,因为他们的记者在被禁止进入白宫之前,未被提前告知其报道可能导致其白宫采访权限被撤销,也未获得回应的机会。凯利还指出,白宫作为剥夺这些媒体采访权的理由所援引的CNN、MS NOW和Politico的报道,都属于“常规报道”,部分甚至是数月前发表的。
在由特朗普任命的凯利签发禁令近12小时后,相关记者重新获得了进入白宫园区的权限,记者证也被归还。但白宫仍拒绝让CNN和Politico的记者进入椭圆形办公室以及空军一号,这些区域是为覆盖总统每日行程的轮换媒体池开放的。
CBS新闻和CNN同属Skydance集团,该集团是派拉蒙与华纳兄弟探索公司本周完成合并后成立的母公司。
特朗普上月在Truth Social平台发帖宣布了这项禁令,称其决定是基于这些媒体“持续‘报道’假新闻!”。总统还警告称,“其他假新闻媒体”也可能被剥夺进入白宫的权限。
宣布禁令的次日清晨,这三家媒体的记者前往白宫上班时均被拒之门外,特勤局没收了他们的采访通行证。
CNN、MS NOW和Politico于9月21日联合提起诉讼,请求发布临时命令叫停总统禁令的执行。
次日,白宫分别致信这三家新闻机构,称他们发表的涉及新白宫舞厅、持续的伊朗战争以及共和党中期代表大会的相关文章,对国家安全构成威胁,且违反了记者应遵守的“专业操守和礼仪”标准。
白宫声称这些“威胁国家安全和/或散布虚假信息”的文章中,大部分作者并不拥有白宫采访权限。此外,Politico在6月发表的一篇报道,其信息来源是白宫组织的一次媒体电话通报会。根据法庭文件,在此次通报会上,白宫曾指示记者将引述内容归因为“一位高级政府官员”。
白宫给CNN、MS NOW和Politico设定的回应期限为9月25日,但司法部表示,三家媒体均拒绝就此作出回应。
在敦促法官继续叫停特朗普禁令的过程中,CNN、MS NOW和Politico的律师称,该禁令“公然”剥夺了他们的正当法律程序。他们表示,根据两项上诉法院的裁决,政府所谓的“专业操守”标准以及声称的国家安全担忧过于模糊,无法确保提供足够的告知。
“归根结底,白宫援引的这些空洞、可随意解读的所谓标准,除了授权被告方惩罚他们不喜欢的报道,违反正当程序条款和第一修正案之外,毫无意义,”代表这些媒体的泰德·布特罗斯在一份诉状中说道。
布特罗斯还主张,CNN、MS NOW和Politico有权基于第一修正案获得救济。他表示,该禁令违宪地报复了这三家媒体的新闻采集和言论行为,其作出的依据是总统不喜欢他们对自己及其政府的“负面”报道。
原告方指出,即使在凯利签发临时禁令之后,特朗普政府仍继续对他们进行报复,这表明白宫的“动机是惩罚和压制他们不喜欢的新闻报道”。
布特罗斯在诉状中称,自宣布禁令以来,白宫“为总统的‘封杀新闻自由’禁令寻找的理由不断变化,从模糊不清的专业操守标准,到模糊且站不住脚的保护国家安全的担忧”。“但与此同时,总统本人一直在向任何愿意倾听的人直言不讳地说明这项禁令的真正目的。”
美国司法部为特朗普的禁令进行了辩护,称其符合第一修正案的规定,因为特朗普拒绝CNN、MS NOW和Politico进入白宫有两个令人信服的理由:执行记者应遵守的最低专业操守标准,以及保护国家安全信息。
“最起码,发布涉密和敏感的国家安全信息是对职业操守的严重违反,”司法部民事部门高级律师迈克尔·维尔奇克在一份诉状中写道。
司法部还辩称,这些新闻机构不太可能在正当程序的主张上胜诉,因为白宫已经向他们提供了“充分告知”,告知其记者的行为可能导致禁令,并且他们有机会作出回应。维尔奇克表示,在信件中,总统已经告知记者“白宫期望和要求的职业操守原则”。
“毕竟,进入白宫是一项特权——而非一项权利,”他写道。
特朗普持续谴责被列入禁令名单的新闻机构,告诉记者他只希望“真实新闻,而非假新闻”机构报道他。
当上周《时代》杂志记者问及实施禁令的动因时,总统表示:“无非是一篇又一篇糟糕的报道。”
“我认为任何人都不该被迫忍受假新闻,以及持续不断的负面报道,因为我做了很多了不起的事情,”特朗普说道。
CNN, MS NOW, Politico due back in court to fight Trump’s blocked White House ban
October 8, 2026 / 6:00 AM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The Justice Department and lawyers for CNN, MS NOW and Politico will be back in court Thursday as the legal battle continues over President Trump’s decision to ban reporters from the three news outlets from the White House over what he said is their negative coverage of his administration.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly is considering whether to grant the news outlets longer-term relief after issuing an order last month that temporarily blocked Mr. Trump’s bans and required the White House to reinstate the reporters’ access to the complex.
Kelly’s temporary restraining order is set to expire Thursday.
Lawyers for the trio of news organizations are now urging Kelly to impose a preliminary injunction preventing the White House from depriving the news outlets and their reporters of White House access while the case proceeds.
“Every day, critically important news is breaking at the White House, and the ban will substantially interfere with Plaintiffs’ ability to cover it,” they argued in a filing. “The ban also inflicts an injury on all news media organizations — which now risk a similar fate if they engage in fact-based, independent reporting the President deems insufficiently favorable.”
In his temporary order, Kelly said the news outlets were likely to succeed in arguing they were denied due process, since their journalists were not given prior notice that their reporting could lead to their White House access being rescinded or the opportunity to respond before they were banned. The judge said articles from CNN, MS NOW and Politico cited by the White House as justification for losing access were “routine” and, in some cases, written months ago.
The journalists regained access to the White House complex and had their press credentials returned nearly 12 hours after Kelly, appointed by Mr. Trump, issued his order. But the White House has refused to allow CNN and Politico in the Oval Office and aboard Air Force One, places that are opened up to the press pool, a rotating group of journalists that covers the president’s movements each day.
CBS News and CNN are both part of Skydance, the parent company formed following the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery that was finalized this week.
Mr. Trump announced his ban in a post on Truth Social last month and said his decision was based on their “constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” The president warned that “other Fake News Media Outlets” could also be stripped of their access to the White House.
The morning after he announced the ban, reporters from each of the three outlets who arrived at the White House for work were turned away and had their passes confiscated by the Secret Service.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico filed their joint lawsuit on Sept. 21 and asked for a temporary order blocking enforcement of the president’s ban.
The following day, the White House sent letters to each of the three news outlets informing them that certain articles they had published on topics including the new White House ballroom, the ongoing war with Iran and the Republican midterm convention were threats to national security and violated standards of “professionalism and decorum” for reporters.
Most of the articles identified by the White House, which it said “threatened national security and/or spread falsehoods,” were authored by reporters who do not have White House press credentials. Additionally, one piece from Politico, published in June, was based on a press call organized by the White House. During that call, the White House instructed reporters to attribute quotes to a “senior administration official,” according to court papers.
The White House gave CNN, MS NOW and Politico a Sept. 25 deadline to respond to the letters, but the Justice Department said each declined to do so.
In urging the judge to continue blocking Mr. Trump’s ban, lawyers for CNN, MS NOW and Politico said it “blatantly” denies them due process. The administration’s “professionalism” standards and purported national security concerns are too vague under two appeals court decisions to ensure adequate notice, they said.
“At base, the empty, malleable supposed standards cited by the White House do nothing but authorize Defendants to punish reporting they dislike in violation of the Due Process Clause and First Amendment,” Ted Boutrous, who is representing the news outlets, said in a filing.
Boutrous also argued CNN, MS NOW and Politico are entitled to relief on First Amendment grounds. The ban unconstitutionally retaliates against the three outlets for newsgathering and speech, and was based on the president’s dislike of their “negative” coverage of him and his administration, he said.
The plaintiffs noted that the Trump administration has continued to retaliate against them even after Kelly’s temporary order, demonstrating that the White House’s “motive is to punish and chill journalism they dislike.”
Since announcing the ban, the White House has “sought to justify the President’s ‘ban on the free press’ with a series of shifting rationales, lurching from unarticulated standards of professionalism to nebulous and pretextual concerns about protecting national security,” Boutrous said in a filing. “But all the while, the President himself has continued telling anyone who will listen precisely what this ban is really about.”
The Justice Department has defended Mr. Trump’s ban and said it is allowed under the First Amendment because he has two compelling reasons for denying CNN, MS NOW and Politico White House access: enforcing minimum standards of professionalism for journalists and safeguarding national security information.
“At a bare minimum, it is a significant violation of decorum to publish classified and sensitive national security information,” Michael Velchik, senior counsel of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, wrote in a filing.
The Justice Department also argued that the news outlets are unlikely to prevail on their due-process argument because the White House provided them “adequate notice” that their journalists’ conduct could lead to the ban and the opportunity to respond. In the letters, the president informed the reporters “about the principles of decorum expected and required” of reporters who cover the White House, Velchik said.
“After all, access to the White House is a privilege — not a right,” he wrote.
Mr. Trump has continued to denounce the news outlets targeted by the ban, telling reporters that he only wants “real news, not fake news” organizations covering him.
When asked by Time magazine last week about the impetus for the ban, the president said, “it’s just bad story after bad story.”
“I don’t think anybody should be forced to bear fake news, constantly bad stories, because I’ve done great things,” Mr. Trump said.
