CNBC Plans Legal Action Against Trump
American CNN network lawyers have once again called on the relevant authorities to lift the restrictions imposed on their journalists and to allow them to accompany President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One, despite a preliminary court order mandating the reinstatement of their White House access permits. The attorneys assert that excluding CNN journalists from presidential trips is an illegal action and constitutes a retaliatory discrimination due to the content of their coverage. Reports indicate that the network has been prevented at least four times from accompanying the President, despite participating in the joint coverage system, which permits media outlets to obtain photos and recordings of presidential activities. This system is designed to facilitate journalistic work; however, the exclusion of CNN hinders this process and affects other media organizations as well. Meanwhile, a White House official justifies the restrictions, claiming that journalists do not have constitutional rights to access sensitive facilities. However, law and court rulings oppose these claims, as a federal judge has issued a temporary order protecting the rights of CNN correspondents. This issue arises amid an ongoing legal dispute over the revocation of permits by the Trump administration, which is now subject to judicial review.
