跟进：六名公民起诉特朗普政府 称白宫媒体禁令侵犯公众第一修正案权利、要求法院禁止执行
六名美国公民10月26日在纽约南区联邦地区法院起诉总统特朗普及多名政府官员，指控白宫禁止 CNN、MS NOW 与 Politico 进入白宫及空军一号采访的做法，侵犯公众依第一修正案获取政府信息的权利，要求法院宣告相关禁令违宪并禁止政府执行。据《今日美国》与《华盛顿邮报》报道，诉讼由哥伦比亚大学奈特第一修正案研究所（Knight First Amendment Institute）与耶鲁大学法学院媒体自由与信息获取诊所代理提起。
六名原告包括耶鲁大学法学教授 Kenneth Roth、耶鲁大学历史学教授 Beverly Gage、法律新闻网站 Lawfare 主编 Benjamin Wittes、记者 Daniel Froomkin、宾夕法尼亚大学学生报主编 Ethan Young 与纽约市高中教师 Peter Schmidt-Nowara。诉状称，禁令已损害原告各自的工作：Froomkin 因此失去可用于评价总统及其政策的报道信息，Gage 的学术研究、公共写作与教学则依赖白宫记者团的采访报道。诉状写道，这起案件「最终的受害者，是民主共和国本身」。被告除特朗普外，还包括白宫发言人 Steven Cheung、特勤局局长 Sean Curran 与白宫幕僚长 Susie Wiles。
这起新诉讼接续的是同一场白宫采访准入之争：CNN、MS NOW 与 Politico 今年9月被禁止进入白宫后已提起诉讼，一名联邦法官10月延长初步禁令，裁定诉讼期间三家媒体可继续进入白宫采访，政府随后提出上诉（本站10月14日已报道）。新诉状还援引政府2025年限制美联社进入部分采访场合的做法，以及10月20日一名《独立报》记者在特朗普称其为「有病的人」之后被拦在空军一号之外的事件，主张禁令的影响远超三家被点名的媒体。
原告方与白宫说法针锋相对。奈特第一修正案研究所诉讼副主任 Katie Fallow 10月26日在声明中说：「白宫不能通过惩罚批评性报道，来决定美国人接收什么信息。」她称，当白宫以报道为由驱逐记者并威胁其他人时，「受损的不只是新闻界，公众也失去了独立报道的渠道」。白宫一名官员同日以电邮回应《今日美国》称：「任何人都无权要求进入椭圆形办公室」，并称散布虚假信息与诽谤的媒体「完全可以在（白宫）外面报道他们编造的故事」。代表政府应诉的司法部未回应置评请求。案件后续程序有待法院排期。
Follow-Up: Six Citizens Sue Trump Administration, Saying White House Press Bans Violate the Public's First Amendment Rights
Six American citizens sued President Donald Trump and several administration officials in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on October 26, arguing that the White House's bans on CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House and Air Force One violate the public's First Amendment right to receive information about its government, and asking the court to declare the bans unconstitutional and block their enforcement. According to USA Today and The Washington Post, the suit was filed by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and Yale Law School's Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic.
The six plaintiffs are Yale law professor Kenneth Roth, Yale history professor Beverly Gage, Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes, journalist Daniel Froomkin, Ethan Young, editor-in-chief of the University of Pennsylvania's student newspaper, and Peter Schmidt-Nowara, a New York City high school teacher. The complaint says the bans have harmed each plaintiff's work: Froomkin is deprived of reporting he uses to evaluate and write about the president and his policies, while Gage relies on White House press corps reporting for her scholarship, public writing and teaching. 'The ultimate injury here, however, is to the democratic republic,' the complaint says. The defendants, in addition to Trump, include White House spokesman Steven Cheung, Secret Service Director Sean Curran and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The new suit continues the same fight over White House press access: after CNN, MS NOW and Politico were barred from the White House in September, the three outlets sued, and a federal judge in October extended a preliminary injunction allowing them to keep entering the White House while the litigation proceeds, with the government appealing (as GSM reported on October 14). The new complaint also cites the administration's 2025 effort to bar the Associated Press from certain spaces and the October 20 decision to block a reporter from The Independent from Air Force One after Trump called him a 'sick person,' arguing the bans' effects reach far beyond the three named outlets.
The two sides offered opposing accounts. Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute, said in an October 26 statement: 'The White House cannot decide what information Americans receive by punishing critical reporting.' She said that when the White House expels reporters over their coverage and threatens others, 'it isn't just the press that suffers — the public loses access to independent reporting.' A White House official responded to USA Today by email the same day: 'No person may demand access to the Oval Office,' adding that media outlets that 'pedal misinformation and defamation are completely capable of reporting their manufactured stories from directly outside.' The Justice Department, which represents the government, did not respond to a request for comment. Further proceedings await the court's schedule.
