A DOJ lawyer urged a federal appeals court today to give the White House broad leeway to pull journalists’ press passes for conduct President Trump or his aides deem unprofessional
A Justice Department lawyer urged a federal appeals court Monday to give President Donald Trump’s White House broad leeway to pull journalists’ press passes for conduct the president or his aides deem unprofessional — even though opinions seem to differ widely about how to define that term in the Trump era.
“Every credentialed White House reporter, including Mr. Karem, knows perfectly well that they are not permitted to engage in unprofessional behavior on the White House grounds,” Burnham said. “There has always been an enforceable requirement that reporters with hard passes behave in a professional manner.”
“This unruly, raucous, circus-like atmosphere … President Trump, for better or worse, creates that sort of atmosphere,” Boutrous said. “Mr. Karem had a press pass. And the notion that the standard for taking it away when the only basis was speech by Mr. Karem and the whole area is obviously you know a First Amendment-protected area, that the authority there would not have to be announced in advance, I just find that astounding,” said Pillard, an appointee of President Barack Obama. “I mean: Of course, it has to be announced in advance.
“Isn’t it relevant that nobody who has shouted at the president or jostled another journalist or done things that one might under your reading see as clearly unprofessional, has ever had [a] press pass suspended?” she asked.
