Catherine Lucey Career

n her capacity as a White House reporter, Lucey was present when Donald Trump was posing for a photograph with the current class of White House interns. She tried to ask the President about his comments on Jeff Sessions and the Republican healthcare bill. According to Associated Press, it is common for reporters to ask questions during a staged photo opportunity and usually the President will answer.

This time around, President Trump rolled his eyes and curtly told Lucey to “shut up”. He went on to tell the interns posing with him that Lucey was not supposed to ask him questions and was breaking the press code, and the interns laughed in response. This was not the first time that Trump had been curt and dismissive to reporters. He had also attacked former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. Katy Tur was told to shut up as well and she was one amongst the number of NBC newswomen who had to endure Trump’s dismissive attitude. Trump had also singled out co-host of Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump administration on Monday abruptly dropped its effort to bar CNN reporter Jim Acosta from the White House, but warned he could have his credentials pulled again if he doesn’t follow guidelines governing journalists’ behavior.The White House said reporters would be permitted one question each if called upon at news conferences and allowed follow-ups only at the discretion of the president.

In a letter to Acosta, White House communications director Bill Shine and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said they will be forced to reconsider the decision “if unprofessional behavior occurs.”

CNN said that, as a result, it has dropped its lawsuit against the White House filed on Acosta’s behalf.

“Thanks to everyone for their support,” Acosta tweeted. “As I said last Friday … let’s get back to work.”

The White House initially revoked Acosta’s credentials after he and Trump tangled verbally during a Nov. 7 press conference. The administration’s initial reasoning was that Acosta had manhandled a White House intern seeking to take his microphone, but that fell apart after Sanders distributed a doctored video sped up to make Acosta look more aggressive than he actually was.

Instead, the White House focused on behavior they deemed disrespectful to the president. Acosta and CNN have been frequent targets of a president who has derided coverage of his administration as “fake news” and called the media the enemy of the people.

CNN filed suit to get Acosta’s credentials restored, arguing that the action violated the constitutional right to freedom of the press and that he had been denied due process. In Washington, D.C. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly cited the due process argument last Friday in granting Acosta a two-week injunction to get back to work.

The White House initially fought back, saying it had made a preliminary decision to keep Acosta out when the two weeks were up. But after CNN requested a hearing, Shine and Sanders changed course.

“The view from here is that White House interaction with the press is, and generally should be, subject to kind of a natural give and take,” Shine and Sanders wrote. “President Trump believes strongly in the First Amendment and interacts with the press in just such a way. It would be a great loss for all if, instead of this give-and-take, and instead of relying on the professionalism of White House journalists.

The White House Correspondents Association said the White House did the right thing in restoring Acosta’s pass. The WHCA said it had no role in crafting any of the new procedures, and objected to one.

“For as long as there have been White House press conferences, White House reporters have asked follow-up questions,” said Olivier Knox, WHCA president. “We fully expect this tradition will continue.”

In Acosta, the media had an imperfect First Amendment champion. Even some critics in the media world have said he occasionally seems more interested in making a point than in asking a question. In the Nov. 7 news conference, he and Trump briefly argued over the president’s contention that a group of Latin American migrants headed to the southern U.S. border represented an invasion.

Yet dozens of news organizations filed briefs supporting CNN in its case against the White House.

“We are not the enemy of the people,” Acosta tweeted Monday. “I am not your enemy. You are not my enemy. It is wrong to call your fellow Americans the enemy. We are all on the same team. We are all Americans.”

The administrations got in one last twist Monday. CNN was informed of the decision to drop the case in a letter to Acosta — delivered after his competitor, Fox News Channel’s John Roberts, tweeted the “SCOOP” that the White House would not seek to revoke his pass.
