司法部提请法院：允许恢复白宫对CNN等三家媒体的封禁
美国司法部10月2日向华盛顿联邦地区法院提交文件，要求允许白宫在案件审结前恢复对CNN、MS NOW和Politico三家媒体的采访封禁。司法部在文件中主张，进入白宫采访是“特权而非权利”，并称这三家媒体对涉密信息的报道构成国家安全风险。
此前，特朗普任命的联邦法官蒂莫西·凯利（Timothy Kelly）已于9月24日发布临时限制令叫停封禁，该禁令预计在10月8日前后到期。三家媒体9月28日向法院请求更长期的保护，指出一旦放行，白宫将立即恢复全面封禁；目前CNN记者仍被禁止登上空军一号随行采访。
特朗普9月18日宣布这项封禁，称其对这三家媒体“多年来的累积报道”感到不满。被点名的媒体已经提起诉讼，主张封禁侵犯了宪法第一修正案的新闻自由与正当程序权利；言论自由倡导者也警告，此举可能削弱媒体对政府的监督。
DOJ Asks Court to Allow White House to Reinstate Media Ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico
The U.S. Department of Justice filed papers on October 2 asking a federal court in Washington to let the White House reinstate its ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico while the case proceeds. The DOJ argues that access to the White House is “a privilege, not a right,” and says the three outlets' reporting on classified information poses national-security risks.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, already issued a temporary restraining order on September 24 halting the ban; it is expected to expire around October 8. The outlets asked the court on September 28 for longer-term protection, arguing the White House would immediately reinstate a complete ban if allowed. CNN reporters also remain barred from traveling aboard Air Force One.
Trump announced the ban on September 18, citing frustration with “cumulative stories over the last few years” from the three outlets. The outlets have sued, arguing the ban violates their First Amendment and due-process rights, and free-speech advocates warn it could weaken press oversight of the government.
