The Associated Press (AP) amended its complaint against the Trump administration, alleging violations of the First and Fifth Amendments due to the White House's ban on AP journalists attending presidential events. The amendment included a quote from an anonymous White House adviser, who reportedly said, "The AP and the WHCA wanted to f--k around." The original lawsuit was filed after the White House restricted AP access following its refusal to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," as per a Trump executive order. The AP claims the restrictions are unconstitutional and retaliatory. A federal judge, while acknowledging existing case law is unfavorable to the White House, has yet to rule on the matter. The Trump administration argues the AP lacks a constitutional right to special media access. The amended complaint seeks reinstatement of access and highlights ongoing access denials for AP journalists.
