华盛顿一名游说人士周二起诉美国消费品安全委员会及其代理主席，指控该机构非法禁止他进入其设施，并因其为客户工作而对他进行报复。
A Washington lobbyist sued the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and its acting chairman on Tuesday, alleging the agency unlawfully barred him from its facilities and retaliated against him over his work for clients.
游说人士爱德华·克雷尼克在向华盛顿联邦法院提起的诉讼中称，消费品安全机构指责他有“扰乱秩序”行为，并毫无理由地认定他构成威胁。
Lobbyist Edward Krenik said in his lawsuit in Washington federal court that the consumer product agency accused him of “disruptive” behavior and declared him a threat without justification.
克雷尼克由倾向保守的新公民自由联盟代理，他表示，一系列针对唐纳德·特朗普总统政府的不利裁决支持了他的报复指控。
Krenik, represented by the conservative-leaning New Civil Liberties Alliance, said a series of rulings against President Donald Trump’s administration bolstered his retaliation claims.
他指出，去年发布的法院裁决阻止了白家针对四家律师事务所的行政命令，并限制了这些律所与联邦机构的互动能力。克雷尼克还引用了哥伦比亚特区另一位联邦法官的命令，该命令要求白宫恢复包括CNN在内的多家媒体机构的采访权限。消费品安全机构暂无即时置评。
He pointed to court rulings issued last year that blocked White House executive orders targeting four law firms and restricted their ability to interact with federal agencies. Krenik also cited another DC federal judge’s order commanding the White House to restore access to CNN and several other media outlets. The consumer product agency had no immediate comment.
克雷尼克的律师卡拉·罗林斯在一份声明中表示：“请愿权让政府对被统治者负责，如果官员可以驱逐那些与他们意见不合的人，这项权利就毫无意义。” 克雷尼克拥有并经营政府事务公司 NorthStar EK LLC，已担任注册游说人士超过23年。他此前曾在国会山担任议员助手。
Kara Rollins, a lawyer for Krenik, said in a statement, "the right to petition keeps government answerable to the governed, and it means nothing if officials can banish those with whom they disagree.”Krenik, who owns and operates the government affairs firm NorthStar EK LLC, has been a registered lobbyist for more than 23 years. He previously worked as an aide to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
诉讼称，他目前的大部分工作涉及代表制造商和行业协会在消费品安全机构面前进行倡导。他称，受一位未具名客户委托，他曾敦促该机构代理主席彼得·费尔德曼采取某些行动，并告知费尔德曼他获授权将客户的关切传达给白宫。
His lawsuit said most of his current work involves advocacy for manufacturers and trade associations before the consumer product agency. He said that on an unnamed client's behalf he had urged Peter Feldman, the agency’s acting chairman, to take certain actions, and had told Feldman he was authorized to take the client's concerns to the White House.
诉讼称，白宫随后联系了费尔德曼并对他进行了“训斥”，并于8月告知克雷尼克，他被禁止进入任何消费品安全委员会大楼。
The lawsuit said the White House later contacted Feldman and “admonished” him, and that he was told in August that he was prohibited from entering any Consumer Product Safety Commission building.
克雷尼克表示，一名消费品机构官员在8月无证据指控他“反复出现辱骂性和扰乱性行为”，其中包括“试图使用不当且未经授权的沟通渠道联系工作人员”。诉状称，克雷尼克作为私人游说者，在联系政府官员时没有法律义务使用任何特定的沟通方式。
Krenik said a consumer product agency official hadaccused him in August without evidence of “repeated abusive and disruptive behavior,” including "attempts to contact staff using improper and unauthorized communication channels.”The lawsuit said Krenik as a private lobbyist has no legal obligation to use any specific communication method when contacting a government official.
