US EditionUS appeals court will not lift limits on Associated Press access to White House
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – The court upheld limits on AP reporters' access after the agency refused to use a presidentially mandated term, affecting coverage of key White House events, court documents show.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit declined to review the AP's appeal, maintaining a June 6 order limiting coverage to the Oval Office and Air Force One.
- Earlier this year, the administration imposed restrictions after the AP refused to use 'Gulf of America' instead of 'Gulf of Mexico,' following President Donald Trump's January executive order.
- The D.C. Circuit order denied the AP's review request, setting up a possible appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and the AP said `we've said throughout, the press and the public have a fundamental right to speak freely without government retaliation`.
- Amid ongoing access curbs, Reuters and the AP issued statements denouncing the restrictions, noting they placed wire services in rotation with about 30 other print outlets.
- Paving the way for further review, the decision positions the case for Supreme Court consideration, building on Judge Trevor McFadden's First Amendment ruling.
