A.P. Sues Trump Officials Over White House Ban
Published On Feb 21, 2025, 4:36 PM
The Associated Press has filed a lawsuit against top White House officials, claiming their First and Fifth Amendment rights were violated when A.P. reporters were denied access to press events. The lawsuit stems from an incident where the White House reportedly demanded the A.P. to use government-approved terminology in their reporting, particularly regarding the naming of the Gulf of Mexico, which was changed by an executive order issued by President Trump. The White House officials named in the suit intend to defend their actions in court.
