CNN, MS NOW na Politico wanaishtaki serikali ya Trump kuhusu zuio la waandishi wa habari Ikulu ya White House

CNN, MS NOW na Politico waliwasilisha kesi ya pamoja dhidi ya utawala wa Trump baada ya waandishi wao, licha ya kuwa na vitambulisho vya kudumu vya waandishi wa habari, kuzuiliwa kuingia Ikulu ya White House tangu wikendi. Usikilizwaji wa kesi mahakamani umepangwa kufanyika Jumatano.

CNN, MS NOW na Politico waliwasilisha kesi Jumatatu dhidi ya utawala wa Trump, wakidai kuwa kuzuia waandishi wao kuingia Ikulu ya White House kunakiuka Marekebisho ya Kwanza na ulinzi wa taratibu za kisheria. Vyombo hivyo vitatu vinasema waandishi wao wana vitambulisho vya kudumu lakini walikataliwa kuingia katika eneo la Ikulu ya White House tangu wikendi. Kesi hiyo inaeleza zuio hilo kama shambulio la moja kwa moja dhidi ya uhuru wa vyombo vya habari na kujiondoa kwenye kanuni za msingi za kikatiba.

Rais Trump alisema uamuzi huo ulitokana na mrundikano wa uripoti alioona kuwa si wa haki katika miaka miwili iliyopita, badala ya ripoti moja. Usikilizwaji wa mahakama ya shirikisho kuhusu ombi la amri ya muda ya kuzuia ambayo ingerejesha ufikiaji wa vyombo hivyo umepangwa Jumatano. Kesi hii imeleta ulinganisho na mzozo kama huo wa mwaka 2018, ambapo mahakama iliamuru Ikulu ya White House kurejesha kitambulisho cha mwandishi wa CNN.

Kwa kuonyesha mshikamano, mitandao mingine ya televisheni ilikataa kutoa huduma ya pamoja ya habari za Ikulu ya White House Jumatatu baada ya CNN, ambayo ilikuwa iongoze zamu hiyo, kutengwa. Mzozo huo umeamsha tena mjadala kuhusu ufikiaji wa vyombo vya habari Ikulu ya White House na wigo wa mamlaka ya tawi la utendaji kuamua ni vyombo gani vya habari vinavyoweza kuripoti kutoka ndani ya jengo hilo.
