USA: Ausgesperrte Journalisten von CNN, MS Now und „Politico“ dürfen nun doch wieder ins Weiße Haus
Ein Bundesrichter hatte in der Nacht den Ausschluss der drei Medien aus dem Weißen Haus gestoppt. Am Vormittag waren deren Journalisten trotzdem zunächst abgewiesen worden.
Düsseldorf – Journalists from CNN, MS Now, and Politico have regained access to the White House despite an initial court ruling blocking their entry. Security forces at the White House initially denied their entry on Thursday morning, and Politico reported that its reporter had his press badge revoked. An MS Now reporter said she was also barred from entering.
CNN also stated that some of its staff members were initially denied entry to the premises. This came just hours after a federal judge temporarily overturned President Donald Trump's entry ban. US District Judge Tim Kelly had put the ban on hold overnight on Thursday, citing concerns that the denial of accreditation likely violated journalists' constitutional rights to due process.
The judge also questioned the US Department of Justice's argument that the ban was justified for national security reasons, pointing out that Trump himself had claimed the ban was due to allegedly false or negative reporting.
