The Associated Press Sues White House Officials

“The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the 10-day blocking of its journalists,” the AP reports.

“The AP says its case is about an unconstitutional effort by the White House to control speech — in this case not changing its style from the Gulf of Mexico to the ‘Gulf of America,’ as President Donald Trump did last month with an executive order.”

CNN: “Other countries do not recognize the new name, and the AP is a global news outlet with customers all around the world, so its stories – and influential stylebook – are still referring to the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ while also acknowledging Trump’s decree.”
