白宫周一阻止Politico访问空军一号,使新闻媒体无法履行其游泳池责任,因为唐纳德特朗普总统前往内布拉斯加州,Politico发言人向MS NOW证实。
The White House blocked Politico from accessing Air Force One on Monday, leaving the news outlet unable to fulfill its pool responsibilities as President Donald Trump travels to Nebraska, a Politico spokesperson confirmed to MS NOW.
在特朗普访问内布拉斯加州格兰德岛期间,Politico被指定为外地旅行打印池,他计划周一与现任共和党参议员Pete Ricketts一起参加集会。但白宫禁止政客与总统和其他记者一起乘坐空军一号。
Politico was assigned to be the out-of-town travel print pool during Trump’s trip to Grand Island, Nebraska, where he is scheduled to participate in a rally Monday with incumbent Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts. But the White House barred Politico from traveling on Air Force One alongside the president and the other pool reporters.
白宫记者团是白宫和新闻媒体之间的一项长期协议,其中一小群记者与整个记者团分享其对总统的观察。这使得较小的媒体可以访问总统的每日记录,而无需承担相关的旅行费用。
The White House pool is a longstanding agreement between the White House and news outlets in which a small group of journalists shares its observations of the president with the entire press corps. This lets smaller outlets access a daily record of the presidency without taking on related travel costs.
白宫记者协会为主要印刷库设定每日报道轮换。白宫通常每晚都会发出有关第二天游泳池覆盖范围的指导。尽管白宫在周日晚上发布的指导意见中列出了周一的市内游泳池覆盖范围,但没有列出城外游泳池。
The White House Correspondents’ Association sets the daily coverage rotation for the primary print pool. The White House typically sends out guidance each night regarding the next day’s pool coverage. Though the White House listed in-town pool coverage for Monday in its guidance that went out Sunday evening, it did not list the out-of-town pool.
一名白宫官员将与总统一起乘坐空军一号旅行描述为“一种特权而不是权利”,并承诺特朗普“将继续给予前所未有的媒体接触”。美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)首先报道了白宫决定阻止Politico进入空军一号的消息,这是联邦政府与包括MS NOW在内的媒体之间持续不和的最新升级,总统已试图禁止该媒体进入白宫。
A White House official characterized traveling with the president on Air Force One as “a privilege not a right” and pledged that Trump “will continue to grant an unprecedented level of access to the press.”The White House’s decision to block Politico’s access to Air Force One, first reported by CNN, comes as the latest escalation in the ongoing feud between the federal government and media outlets, including MS NOW, that the president has sought to ban from the White House.
MS NOW、CNN和Politico就该禁令起诉白宫,但法官上个月暂时阻止了该禁令。尽管如此,一些媒体的记者仍被阻止进入白宫或空军一号。周五,特朗普政府在一份新文件中坚称,它有权禁止记者。
MS NOW, CNN and Politico sued the White House over the ban, which a judge temporarily blocked last month. Still, some reporters from the outlets have been blocked from access to the White House or Air Force One. On Friday, the Trump administration insisted in a new filing that it has the right to ban the journalists.
当前的法律斗争的重点是进入白宫本身,因为白宫的禁令于9月12日生效之前就存在了。18.该诉讼没有直接解决池准入问题,但该问题已在相关法律文件中出现--新闻媒体必须拥有白宫资格才能参与池--并且可能会在定于周四举行的听证会上出现。
The current legal battle is focused on access to the White House itself as it existed before Trump’s ban went into effect on Sept. 18. The lawsuit does not directly address the question of pool access, but the issue has emerged in related legal filings — news outlets must have White House credentials to participate in the pool — and will likely arise in a hearing scheduled for Thursday.
特朗普政府禁止Politico乘坐总统专机的最新举措可能比其正在进行的白宫禁令有更强的法律依据。去年,在涉及美联社的一起案件中,美国华盛顿巡回上诉法院裁定,特朗普政府可以限制某些新闻机构进入椭圆形办公室和空军一号等空间,因为这些空间不是官方论坛。该案仍在审理中。
The Trump administration’s latest move banning Politico from the presidential plane may be on stronger legal footing than its ongoing White House ban. Last year, in a case involving The Associated Press, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit held that the Trump administration could restrict access to spaces like the Oval Office and Air Force One for certain news organizations because those spaces are not official forums. That case remains ongoing.
