The Associated Press (AP) filed a lawsuit against three Trump administration officials, alleging that their decision to limit AP's access to the Oval Office, Air Force One, and other presidential events violated the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. The restrictions were imposed after the AP refused to use the term "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico" in its reporting. The AP argued that the ban was arbitrary, retaliatory, and based on the administration's dislike of its editorial decisions. The lawsuit claims that the White House's actions chilled the AP's constitutionally protected speech and failed to provide any compelling reason for the access denial. The AP emphasized that maintaining easily recognizable place names was essential for its global audience.
