WASHINGTON, April 8 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Tuesday ordered President Donald Trump’s White House to lift access restrictions imposed on the Associated Press over the news agency’s decision to continue to refer to the Gulf of Mexico in its coverage.

 

Ruling to take effect on Sunday, giving White House time to appeal
White House does not immediately respond

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who was appointed by Trump during his first term, ruled the White House must allow AP journalists access to the Oval Office, Air Force One and events held at the White House while the AP’s lawsuit moves forward. <SKIP>

 

"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," McFadden wrote in his ruling.

Hoorah for that ! To me, it seems there is a lot of resistance in the Judiciary to Trump's wild attempts to 'walk past the Courts'.

 

Good luck USA, labouring in confusion under this sad looney !
