美國有線電視新聞網(wǎng)(CNN)已對(duì)總統(tǒng)特朗普和他的數(shù)名助手提起訴訟,要求立即恢復(fù)首席白宮記者吉姆·阿科斯塔進(jìn)入白宮采訪的權(quán)利。
The lawsuit is a response to the White House's suspension of Acosta's press pass, known as a Secret Service "hard pass," hours after he engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with President Trump.
此前,阿科斯塔和特朗普唇槍舌戰(zhàn)數(shù)小時(shí)后,白宮暫停了阿科斯塔的記者通行證,即特勤局簽發(fā)的白宮長期通行證,CNN的訴訟正是對(duì)此舉做出的回應(yīng)。
The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN's First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.
訟詞指出,白宮對(duì)阿科斯塔的禁令侵犯了美國憲法第一和第五修正案賦予阿科斯塔和CNN的權(quán)利。
The suit was filed in US District Court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning.
該訴訟案已于本周二上午提交給美國華盛頓特區(qū)地方法院。
"This is not a step we have taken lightly. But the White House action is unprecedented," CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker said in an internal memo to staff.
CNN全球總裁杰夫·朱克在給員工的一份內(nèi)部備忘錄中表示:“這不是輕率之舉。但是白宮的動(dòng)作是前所未有的。”
In a statement on Tuesday morning, CNN said it is seeking a preliminary injunction so that Acosta can return to the White House right away, and a ruling from the court preventing the White House from revoking Acosta's pass in the future.
在周二上午的一則聲明中,CNN表示,他們正尋求初步禁令,以便阿科斯塔可以立即返回白宮,并希望得到法院的裁決,以阻止白宮在未來撤銷阿科斯塔的通行證。
