US EditionAssociated Press disputes Trump's false characterization of its legal fight over access
A federal judge ruled that the White House cannot exclude the Associated Press due to its editorial stance, but enforcement is delayed as Trump appeals the decision.
- The Associated Press is objecting to President Donald Trump's false characterization of its ongoing legal dispute after he misstated the case Sunday on an aircraft carrier marking the U.S. Navy's 250th anniversary.
- After AP's editorial decision last winter, The Associated Press declined to follow the executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico, prompting the White House to block AP from limited-space White House events in February.
- AP spokesman Patrick Maks said the court ruled in AP's favor in a strong free speech opinion, but the president secured a delay while the U.S. Court of Appeals reviews the case.
- Arguments on appeal are set for November, prolonging uncertainty as the White House continues deciding access while AP photographers gain entry but text reporters face rarer access.
- The case sits within wider pressure on media, with President Donald Trump suing The New York Times and Wall Street Journal while ABC News and CBS News settled suits; restricted access reshapes presidential coverage.
