A federal judge denied the Associated Press’ request to immediately allow its reporters to resume covering White House events and travel aboard Air Force One after they were banned over how the news organization references “Gulf of America” in its style guide.

US District Judge Trevor McFadden in Washington said he will allow the ban to remain in place as the legal fight moves forward after hearing arguments on Monday.
