USA: Gericht hebt Trumps Ausschluss von US-Medien vorerst auf
Ein Bundesrichter stoppt den Ausschluss der drei Medienhäuser aus dem Weißen Haus. Trump hatte den Sendern „Fiktion und Lügen“ vorgeworfen.
In Düsseldorf, a federal judge has temporarily blocked the U.S. government's decision to exclude journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and the "Politico" news portal from accessing the White House. This ruling followed an emergency request from the media outlets, which claimed that the denial of press passes to their reporters was unconstitutional.
Judge Timothy Kelly stated that the White House had failed to provide the affected journalists with proper notification and an opportunity to be heard before their constitutional right to access was revoked. The injunction is currently in place for 14 days. On Friday, President Donald Trump announced that the three media outlets would be banned from the White House due to their frequent dissemination of "fiction and lies."
Critics have labeled Trump's actions as an attack on press freedom and an attempt to intimidate critical media outlets. Journalists from all three media houses were reportedly denied access to the White House grounds on Saturday, and Trump later threatened to expand the ban to other media organizations.
