司法部正在调查电视网络因特朗普池报道问题的情况。主要电视网络在周五收到通知，称司法部正在审查他们在暂停对特朗普总统的池报道时是否违反了反垄断法。
Justice Dept. Is Investigating TV Networks Over Trump Pool Coverage Major TV networks were notified on Friday that the department was looking into whether they violated antitrust laws when they suspended pool coverage of President Trump.
根据六位知情人士的说法，司法部正在调查主要电视网络——ABC、CBS、CNN、NBC和福克斯新闻——在该集团暂停对特朗普总统的池报道时，是否违反了联邦反垄断法。
The Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of President Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department’s action.
司法部官员周五联系了这些网络，要求提供与白宫电视池相关的通信和材料。该池是一个长期存在的系统，各网络共同承担提供总统影像并将其分发给其他新闻机构的责任。
Officials from the Justice Department contacted networks on Friday and demanded communications and materials related to the White House TV pool, the people said. The pool is a longstanding system where the networks share the responsibility of providing footage of the president and distributing it to other news outlets.
上个月，在特朗普总统禁止CNN记者进入白宫场地，导致CNN无法参与池报道之后，这些网络集体暂停了对特朗普总统的池报道，持续了几天。
Last month, the networks collectively suspended their pool footage of Mr. Trump for several days after the president barred CNN journalists from the White House grounds, which prevented CNN from participating in the pool.
司法部的调查是特朗普政府与白宫记者团持续冲突的重大升级。这也延续了特朗普政府利用政府机制针对其在媒体界 perceived 敌人的模式。司法部曾向《纽约时报》记者发出传票，并扣押了一位《华盛顿邮报》记者的笔记本电脑。
The inquiry by the Justice Department is a profound escalation of the Trump administration’s ongoing battles with the White House press corps. It also follows a pattern of the Trump administration using the levers of government against its perceived foes in the media. The Justice Department has subpoenaed reporters from The New York Times and seized a laptop from a Washington Post journalist.
司法部发言人艾米丽·科文顿在周六的一份声明中表示：“电视新闻池的成员以自豪的态度抵制报道白宫活动。商业竞争者之间的团体抵制可能违反《谢尔曼法》——这是一项核心反垄断法。”
A Justice Department spokeswoman, Emily Covington, said in a statement on Saturday: “Members of the television press pool have proudly boycotted covering White House events. Group boycotts among commercial competitors can violate the Sherman Act,” a core antitrust law.
“反垄断部门只是在进行调查，以确定这些新闻机构是否违反了反垄断法，”科文顿女士补充道。白宫周六未立即回应询问，五家网络的代表也未立即发表评论。
“The Antitrust Division is simply investigating to determine whether these news organizations have violated the antitrust laws,” Ms. Covington added. The White House did not immediately respond to an inquiry on Saturday, and representatives for the five networks did not immediately comment.
此次冲突源于特朗普先生对其所称的“故意负面报道”表示不满，并于9月18日禁止CNN、Politico和MS NOW进入白宫。
The latest skirmish was set off when Mr. Trump, lamenting what he described as “purposely negative stories,” barred CNN, Politico and MS NOW from the White House on Sept. 18.
这三家新闻机构提起诉讼，称总统的行为侵犯了他们的第一修正案权利；政府则主张进入白宫是一种“特权”。联邦法官对该禁令发布了临时阻止令，该阻止令将于周二到期。
The three news organizations sued, calling the president’s action a violation of their First Amendment rights; the administration argued that access to the White House was a “privilege.”A federal judge issued a temporary block on the ban, which is set to expire on Tuesday.
