US judge refuses to immediately restore Associated Press’ full interview rights for White House press conference

On February 25th, a US judge rejected an emergency motion by the Associated Press to restore its right to interview the White House press conference and ordered an expedited review of the matter. Previously, the White House stated that due to the Associated Press ignoring the legal geographic name change of “Gulf of America” and continuing to use the term “Gulf of Mexico”, it will indefinitely prohibit Associated Press journalists from entering the Oval Office and Air Force One. The Associated Press has sued three officials of the Trump administration for violating freedom of speech.
