JUST IN: Judge Orders White House to Lift Ban on AP’s Access to Oval Office, East Room

A federal judge on Tuesday granted the Associated Press a preliminary injunction against the Trump White House’s ban on their access to the Oval Office and East Room.

In February Trump blocked the far-left AP from the Oval Office from defying his executive order renaming the Gulf as “Gulf of America.”

While traveling to the Super Bowl aboard Air Force One, President Trump not only changed the name of this vast body of water but also declared February 9, 2025, as the inaugural “Gulf of America Day.”

However, the far-left AP has resisted Trump’s executive order.

“Today our AP White House reporter was denied access to the Oval Office because the Associated Press recognizes the international body of water on our southern coastline as the Gulf of Mexico, while acknowledging President Donald Trump’s order to rename it the Gulf of America,” said AP Pentagon Correspondent Tara Copp.

The Associated Press filed a lawsuit against the Trump White House and on Tuesday a federal judge sided with the AP.

On Tuesday US District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, granted the AP’s injunction against the White House and lifted the block as the lawsuit makes its way through the courts.

“The court simply holds that under the First Amendment, if the government opens its doors to some journalists — be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere — it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints. The Constitution requires no less,” Judge McFadden wrote in a 41-page opinion.

Judge McFadden clarified that the government can choose which journalists to participate in specific interview.

“Today, the Court grants that relief. But this injunction does not limit the various permissible reasons the Government may have for excluding journalists from limited-access events. It does not mandate that all eligible journalists, or indeed any journalists at all, be given access to the President or nonpublic government spaces. It does not prohibit government officials from freely choosing which journalists to sit down with for interviews or which ones’ questions they answer. And it certainly does not prevent senior officials from publicly expressing their own views,” the judge wrote.
