Einstweilige Verfügung: CNN, „Politico“ und MS NOW: Reporter wieder im Weißen Haus
Trump geht gegen führende US-Medien vor und verbannt sie aus dem Weißen Haus. Kurz darauf untersagt dies ein Gericht - zumindest vorerst. Trotzdem gibt es zunächst Probleme am Eingang.
Washington - CNN, Politico and MS NOW journalists have returned to the White House. All three media outlets reported that they were granted access to the White House in the afternoon, after initial refusals in the morning despite a contrary court order. A judge had previously ordered provisional access for representatives of these three media outlets after US President Donald Trump had expelled them from his official residence the previous Friday.
On Thursday, important events were scheduled at the White House: Trump was hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping, and an official dinner was planned for the evening. The judge had ruled that the White House must temporarily allow access to the complaining media outlets: CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. Trump had banned the three media outlets and accused them of spreading false news.
Critics view this as an attack on press freedom and a form of intimidation. Press freedom in the US is constitutionally protected, like in Germany. After the reporters of the three media outlets were denied access in the morning, they appealed to the court again. By noon, the US government should have stated its position on why it did not follow the court order, according to court documents.
