特朗普因这些媒体发布他所谓的“假新闻”而撤销其采访权限，这是他针对不喜欢的媒体报道施压行动的最新升级。他表示可能禁止其他媒体，但不确定这在法庭上是否站得住脚。
美国地区法官蒂莫西·凯利于9月24日暂时叫停了该禁令，认定该禁令很可能违反了宪法第五修正案赋予媒体的公平待遇权利。
Trump's revocation of the outlets' access for publishing what he said was “FAKE NEWS” was the latest escalation of his pressure campaign against media coverage he dislikes. He said he might ban other outlets but was unsure it would hold up in court.US District Judge Timothy Kelly temporarily blocked the ban on September 24, finding it likely violated the outlets' right to fair treatment under the Constitution's Fifth Amendment.
他未就媒体主张的禁令违反第一修正案言论自由权利的诉求作出裁决。这些媒体已请求法院发布命令，在最终裁决前阻止禁令生效。
He did not rule on the outlets' claim that the ban violated their First Amendment free speech rights. The outlets have asked for an order blocking the ban until a final ruling.
他们称撤销通行证是对其报道的非法报复，并指控政府编造毫无根据的国家安全担忧以合理化禁令。
They say the revocation of their passes was unlawful retaliation for their coverage and accused the administration of coming up with meritless national security concerns to justify the ban.
司法部律师称，这些媒体发布机密信息危害国家安全，引用了关于特朗普白宫舞厅建设和最近共和党中期大会出席率的报道。凯利在9月23日的听证会上对政府的论点持怀疑态度。
Justice Department lawyers say the outlets endangered national security by publishing classified information, citing stories about construction of Trump's White House ballroom and turnout at the recent Republican midterm convention. Kelly was skeptical of the government's arguments at a September 23 hearing.
在特朗普首个任期内，凯利曾阻止特朗普吊销CNN记者吉姆·阿科斯塔的白宫通行证，理由是该决定既不透明也不公正。随着中期选举临近，特朗普面临低支持率。
这场法律斗争距离11月3日的中期选举仅剩几周，特朗普的共和党同僚正在为保住国会控制权而战。
