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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
