“A federal judge declined to immediately restore the Associated Press’[s] position in the White House press pool after President Donald Trump ejected the wire service as punishment for refusing to recognize his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the ‘Gulf of America.’ U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, acknowledged at a court hearing Monday that Trump has excluded the organization in recent weeks from the position it has held for over a century in press pools admitted to the Oval Office. … However, McFadden noted that Trump hasn’t stripped AP’s reporters and photographers of their White House press passes or access to White House briefings — the kinds of moves that have prompted court intervention in the past.” (02/24/25)
