Overview
The Associated Press has filed a lawsuit against Trump administration officials over restrictions on its access to presidential events, including Air Force One. This followed the administration's decision to bar AP reporters after the agency refused to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, as per President Trump's executive order. The lawsuit addresses the First Amendment implications, claiming the government cannot control speech or retaliate against media organizations for their editorial choices. Over 40 news organizations have expressed support for AP, urging the White House to reverse its controversial ban.
