NextImg:BREAKING: The AP is suing President Trump – The Right Scoop

It’s just breaking that the Associated Press is suing President Trump for denying their reporters access to Oval Office events with the president and for banning them from flying on Air Force One.

The restrictions were imposed after the AP refused to recognize the name change from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

The AP argues that the restrictions violate the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment.

Here’s more from CNN:

The Associated Press is suing three Trump administration officials in federal court for banning AP reporters from some of President Trump’s events, the Oval Office, and Air Force One.

The AP alleges that the ban violates the First Amendment as well as the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment.

The suit was filed Friday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Washington. The AP is seeking an emergency hearing and a court order to declare the ban unconstitutional and require them to rescind it.

Earlier this month, the AP, one of the world’s largest news outlets, was singled out by the White House for continuing to use the phrase “Gulf of Mexico” even though Trump renamed the body of water “Gulf of America.”

“The Associated Press just refuses to go with what the law is and what has taken place, it’s called the ‘Gulf of America’ now,” Trump said at a press conference earlier this week – an event The AP was not allowed to attend.

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.

AP’s legal filing summarized the matter this way: The White House has ordered its journalists “to use certain words in its coverage or else face an indefinite denial of access.”
