The Department of Justice is appealing a federal judge's order requiring the White House to immediately begin providing American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation at its press briefings when President Trump or press secretary Karoline Leavitt are speaking.

In a court filing on Friday responding to U.S. District Judge Amir Ali's ruling, the Justice Department requested clarification on which types of events should have ASL interpretation available. The DOJ said it believes the services should be limited to regularly scheduled briefings and not other events where the president takes questions from the press.
