The Associated Press (A.P.) reported that the Trump administration has resisted a federal judge's order to restore its full access to the White House, following a tense period of exclusion. The A.P. had been barred due to its refusal to adopt the administration's preferred terminology for the Gulf of Mexico. A judge ruled that such exclusion infringed on First Amendment rights, instructing an immediate restoration of access. Despite this ruling, the A.P. remains excluded, prompting the outlet to seek the court's intervention to enforce compliance from the White House.
The litigation underscores tensions between the Trump administration and news outlets, highlighting the controversy over press access in relation to First Amendment rights.
Despite a federal judge's order to restore The A.P.'s press access, ongoing exclusions persist, raising questions about government compliance with judicial directives.
