The Associated Press filed a motion against the White House for allegedly violating a court order by restricting its access to cover President Trump. Following a courtroom loss, a new policy limited AP's ability to question Trump, which the AP argues breaches its First Amendment rights. U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden previously ordered the administration to provide equal access to AP, but the new policy consolidates access for several agencies, complicating the reporting framework and reducing overall press freedom.
The swift move was in response to a policy issued late Tuesday by the White House, which suffered a courtroom loss last week over The Associated Press' ability to cover Trump.
McFadden ordered the administration to treat the AP as it does other news organizations, emphasizing the importance of free speech rights and equal access to information.
