While the White House has restored access to Associated Press photographers, it continues to exclude AP reporters from the presidential press pool.
Trump Welcomes A.P.’s Photographers. Its Reporters? Not So Much.
The White House now has conflicting approaches for Associated Press journalists as it fights the news service in court over access to presidential events.

This DC Circuit argument in the AP case isn't promising. Judge Wilkins is sympathetic to AP but for the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, Judge Rao wants to expand the "rule" barring injunctions against the president into a rule barring injunctions against anyone whom the president might ask to do things.
Tomorrow morning, the DC Circuit will consider whether Trump violated the First Amendment by ejecting @apnews.com from the White House press pool after it refused to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Very glad that the AP is fighting this. knightcolumbia.org/blog/the-fig...
