White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt scored an early victory in fighting the Trump government, a lawsuit that was filed by the Associated Press.
Judge Trevor McFadden, the American district, refused to temporarily restore the access of the News Outlet to some events of President Donald Trump, as well as the Oval Office and Air Force One.
The Associated Press has claimed that its first change of amendment against the government of speech by trying to dictate the language they use when reporting the news and the right to the right process guaranteed by the fifth amendment has been violated After Senior Trump officials have excluded the outlet from events from events to refuse to use the expression 'Gulf of America'.
In addition to Leavitt, the Susan Wiles and deputy Staff Chef Taylor Budowich mentions Staff Chef Susan Wiles.
But McFadden, who was appointed by Trump by Trump as the American court in Washington DC, indicated a number of reasons to refuse emergency aid at this stage – including that he was not convinced that the wire service was confronted with irreparable damage. A result of the ban, according to CNN.
He said that the news organization 'can gain access to the same information' from the polar notes that are given to all members of the Correspondent of De Witte Huis, even if it is excluded from newsworthy events.
MCFADDEN also argued that the delay in the news organization when the trial was the evidence that it was not harmed in any way that immediate action made it necessary.
“I can't say that the AP has shown a chance here,” the judge said during a hearing.

The Associated Press was access to some events of President Donald Trump, as well as the Oval Office and Air Force One for continuing to use the term 'Golf of Mexico'
Nevertheless, the court seemed to have questioned the legality of the prohibition and at some point it described it as 'discriminatory' and 'problematic' while admitting that the decades have had a wire service at presidential news events, something that is the white person House has long accepted.
“It feels a bit strange that the White House is bound by certain decisions that this private organization makes,” said McFadden, adding that it seems that the White House has discriminated against the AP because of its coverage choices.
“That feels a bit problematic here,” he said.
“It might be a good idea for the White House to think about whether what they do is really suitable in view of the case law,” the judge added after a lawyer for the outlet to the judge that the White House was trying to force The news organization to adopt 'official government vessels'.
Charles Tobin continued to say that the land of the prohibition seems to be shifting, “and claimed that his scope has been expanded in recent days to record both Associated Press reporters and photographers.
It now seems as if it is a total bar of access of the organization to almost all the press events of the White House. '
Tobin also claimed that the Trump administration 'has chosen on AP and no one else' because the news organization publishes the commonly used style book for media.
He argued that the government wanted his client to “help them in their mission to change the national vocabulary,” while comparing journalism with a jury court in which reporters and photographers should be able to observe the president in the same way as jury members of a witness Who assesses the credibility of a witness on stand, reports the New York Times.
The Trump government celebrated the judge's decision on Monday
But lawyers from the Ministry of Justice – who represent the Trump government in the federal lawsuit – did not insist on this point at this point, with the argument that the prohibition is the assets of the outlet to thoroughly to the president Reporting did not affect.
They argued that the AP has no constitutional right to what they called 'special media access to the president' and said that it is the privilege of the president to choose which members of the news media allow in otherwise limited areas.
“They have no constitutional right to continue that access forever,” said Brian Hudak, a lawyer from the Ministry of Justice who defends the Trump officials.
“If the White House decides to eliminate the swimming pool tomorrow, I think they can do that,” he argued, adding that journalists get access to the White House at the president's “Grace and Discrete.”
He further claimed that the AP's access was now comparable to those other news organizations.
After the ruling, Leavitt said that the Trump government has its decision to limit the access of the AP to the president.
“As we have said from the start, asking the president of the United States in the Oval Office and on board Air Force One is a privilege that is granted to journalists, not a legal right.”
President Trump also celebrated the news and posted a photo of the briefing room with signs with reading 'Victory: Gulf of America'.
In the meantime, spokeswoman Lauren Easton, Associated Press, said it is looking forward to our next hearing on March 20, where we will remain standing for the right of the press and the public to speak freely until the government's retribution.
“This is a fundamental American freedom,” she argued.

The decision of MCFADDEN then came up with the Association of the Correspondent of the White House a friend-of-the-right bank to support the Associated Press.
It said that Trump's prohibition “threatens the integrity of the press corps of the White House and its first -line reporting of the US presidency” and that “the president's reporting will relax and distort it to the disadvantage of the public.”
More than 40 news organizations had previously signed with a letter organized by the Association of De Witte Huis that pushed the White House to reverse the AP ban. The existence of the letter was first reported by the status news from Oliver Darcy.
Even straight leaning Fox News Channel and the even more right -wing Newsmax drew.
“We can understand President Trump's frustration because the media have often been unfair, but Newsmax still supports the AP's right, as a private organization, to use the language it wants to use in its report,” Newsmax said In a statement obtained by obtained by obtained explanation DailyMail.com.
