On June 5, 2020, in Karem v. Trump, the Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed a district
court's injunction preventing the White House Press Secretary
from suspending journalist Brian Karem's press credential for
conduct that allegedly violated “professional journalistic
norms.” The Court concluded that Karem was likely to succeed
on his Fifth Amendment due process claims because “he lacked
fair notice that the White House might punish his purportedly
unprofessional conduct by suspending his hard pass for a
month.” The Karem decision suggests that due process
rights should more broadly attach to press credentials issued to
journalists.
