The Associated Press (AP) is in a legal battle against the White House regarding restricted press access. During a court hearing, AP journalists described how the ban has significantly affected their coverage, resulting in missed story opportunities and a chilling effect on press freedoms. The White House imposed this ban in retaliation against the AP for its editorial stance on naming the Gulf of Mexico. The AP seeks a preliminary injunction to restore access while the lawsuit is ongoing, emphasizing the First Amendment implications of the White House's actions.
When President Donald Trump decided to delay tariffs against Canada and Mexico, one of AP's competitors beat them by nearly 40 minutes, Miller said.
We're basically dead in the water on major news stories, said Evan Vucci, the AP's chief photographer in Washington, D.C.
The White House curtailed AP journalists' access to presidential events last month in retaliation for the AP's refusal to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America."
