一名联邦法官裁定，美国国防部违反了法院命令，该命令要求国防部放宽对采访五角大楼的记者实施的严格限制，并叫停了国防部上月发布的一项新媒体政策。
美国联邦地区法官保罗·弗里德曼再次站在《纽约时报》及其记者朱利安·巴恩斯一边。巴恩斯去年提起诉讼，称这项新的五角大楼政策违反了宪法第一修正案、第五修正案以及正当程序条款。
上月，弗里德曼裁定五角大楼对持有五角大楼记者证的记者报道方式的部分严格管控违宪，这项政策导致包括哥伦比亚广播公司新闻在内的多家新闻机构撤离五角大楼。
弗里德曼裁定，五角大楼未能遵守他3月份的命令，并表示五角大楼在该命令发布后实施的修订版媒体政策同样非法。
新的五角大楼规则要求所有记者必须在政府陪同人员陪同下才能进入大楼，并取消了媒体机构在大楼内的办公区域。
“国防部不能打着采取‘新’行动的幌子恢复一项非法政策，还指望法院对此视而不见，”弗里德曼写道。“国防部也不能采取措施规避法院的禁令，还指望法院睁一只眼闭一只眼。”
弗里德曼3月份的裁决叫停了对新闻机构实施的一些最严苛的限制，其中一项条款规定，记者若“索取”军方人员的机密或敏感信息，可能被视为安全风险并被禁止进入大楼。他还推翻了将五角大楼准入资格称为“特权”而非“权利”的条款。
部分条款仍有效，包括记者在没有陪同人员的情况下可在五角大楼内活动区域的限制。
3月份的裁决还命令五角大楼恢复巴恩斯和其他几名《纽约时报》记者的记者证。目前尚不清楚该裁决对其他新闻机构会产生何种影响。
“这项裁决有力地维护了法院的权威以及第一修正案对独立新闻业的保护，”代表《纽约时报》的吉布森·邓恩律师在一份声明中告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
弗里德曼周四的命令要求五角大楼一名“知情人士”在4月16日前向他提交一份宣誓声明，“描述为确保遵守命令所采取的步骤”。
“在结束本意见书之前，法院必须再次指出，这起案件的本质是：国防部长企图掌控美国民众获取的信息，控制舆论导向，让公众只能听到和看到国防部长以及特朗普政府希望他们听到和看到的内容，”弗里德曼周四写道。“宪法要求我们做得更好。美国民众也要求我们做得更好。过去几周，法院收到了来自全国各地民众的数十封信件和明信片，解释第一修正案对他们而言意味着什么。”
尽管五角大楼发言人表示，该部门将就弗里德曼上月的裁决提起上诉，但司法部尚未提交上诉文件。
Judge says Pentagon must restore press access

A federal judge ruled the Defense Department violated a court order requiring it to ease stringent restrictions imposed on reporters who cover the Pentagon and blocked a new press policy issued by the department last month.
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman again sided with the New York Times and its reporter Julian Barnes, who filed a lawsuit last year that argued the new Pentagon policy violated the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment and due process provision of the Constitution.
Last month, Friedman struck down some of the Pentagon’s strict controls on how journalists with Pentagon press passes are allowed to report — ending a policy that has caused many news outlets, including CBS News, to leave the Pentagon.
Friedman ruled that the Pentagon failed to comply with his March order and said a revised press policy, which the Pentagon instituted after his order, was also unlawful.
The new Pentagon rules expelled all reporters from the building unless they were accompanied by government escorts and removed media outlets’ office spaces from the building.
“The Department cannot simply reinstate an unlawful policy under the guise of taking ‘new’ action and expect the Court to look the other way,” Friedman wrote. “Nor can the Department take steps to circumvent the Court’s injunction and expect the Court to turn a blind eye.”
Friedman’s March ruling halted some of the most onerous restrictions imposed on news outlets, including one provision that said reporters who “solicit” classified or sensitive information from military personnel could be deemed a security risk and barred from the building. He also struck down a section that referred to Pentagon access as a “privilege” rather than a “right.”
Some sections were left in place, including restrictions on where reporters are allowed to go in the Pentagon without an escort.
The March ruling also ordered the Pentagon to reinstate Barnes and several other Times reporters’ press passes. It’s not clear what the impact will be on other news outlets.
“This ruling powerfully vindicates both the Court’s authority and the First Amendment’s protections of independent journalism,” attorney Gibson Dunn, who represents the Times, told CBS News in a statement.
Friedman’s order Thursday requires a Pentagon official “with personal knowledge” to sign a sworn declaration to him by April 16 “describing the steps taken to ensure compliance” with the order.
“The Court cannot conclude this Opinion without noting once again what this case is really about: the attempt by the Secretary of Defense to dictate the information received by the American people, to control the message so that the public hears and sees only what the Secretary and the Trump Administration want them to hear and see,” Friedman wrote Thursday. “The Constitution demands better. The American public demands better, too. Over the past few weeks, the Court has received dozens of letters and postcards from people across the country explaining what the First Amendment means to them.”
Although a Pentagon spokesperson said the department would pursue an appeal of Friedman’s ruling last month, the Justice Department has not yet filed one.
