A federal judge ordered the White House to restore the Associated Press’ ability to cover President Donald Trump at the White House, on Air Force One and in restricted areas open to other media outlets, citing the First Amendment.
US District Judge Trevor McFadden on Tuesday entered an injunction requiring the White House to rescind decisions denying the AP access to areas historically covered by a small, rotating pool of media outlets and events broadly open to credentialed journalists. McFadden delayed his order taking effect until April 13 to allow the Justice Department a chance to appeal.
