WASHINGTON, Feb 25 – A US judge on yesterday declined to immediately order the White House to restore full access to President Donald Trump's events to the Associated Press...
US District Judge Trevor McFadden scheduled a March 20 hearing to revisit the case filed by the Associated Press against three Trump administration officials regarding its restricted access to the Oval Office and Air Force One.
Lawyers for the White House rejected the argument saying “the president has discretion to decide who will have special media access to exclusive events.” Lauren Easton, an AP spokesperson, said the agency looks forward to the next hearing “where we will continue to stand for the right of the press and the public to speak freely without government retaliation.”
“Instead, this case is about the Associated Press losing special media access to the President – a quintessentially discretionary presidential choice that infringes no constitutional right,” they said.
