United States: American media unite against Donald Trump
CNN, MSNBC and Politico have filed lawsuits following their exclusion from the White House, with an initial hearing scheduled for Wednesday in Washington.
An initial hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23 in Washington as part of lawsuits filed by CNN, MSNBC and Politico, three American news organizations, challenging their exclusion from the White House by the Trump administration.
The U.S. Department of Justice nonetheless maintained its position, stating in a brief filed Tuesday, September 22 in the evening that "access to the White House is a privilege, not a right".
This case reflects ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and several major American media outlets, which the White House accuses of biased coverage, while these news organizations denounce violations of press freedom.
The outcome of this hearing could have consequences for journalists' access to presidential briefings and events, an issue closely monitored by the entire media profession in the United States.
Details were provided by Anne Corpet, international columnist at France 24.
