White House Activates Nuclear Option After Judge’s Ruling on Associated Press
 
The Trump administration is refusing to surrender in its battle with the Associated Press.

After being ordered by a federal judge to give AP access to White House events, the Trump administration responded with a policy gambit that would remove a position set aside for wire services such as AP, Bloomberg or Reuters in a media pool, according to CNN.
 
Access to President Donald Trump is coveted, and rotates through the various media outlets that cover the White House.

The White House Correspondents’ Association formerly oversaw who received media pool spots. In February Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt took control, with minimal effect on who had access to Trump.
