John Iadarola and Sharon Reed break it down on The Damage Report. Leave a comment with your thoughts below!

‘A Full Win’Federal Judge Orders White House to Reinstate Associated Press Over ‘Gulf of America’ Dispute

"The Associated Press scored a major victory in its battle with the Trump administration on Tuesday, when a federal judge granted an injunction against the White House’s ban on access to the Oval Office and other official press events.

President Donald Trump’s ongoing dispute with the AP began with his first-day flurry of executive orders, including one that purported to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America and to change the name of North America’s highest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley, but the AP was only on board for the latter, citing the scope of U.S. presidential authority and its status as an international news organization as the rationale behind how it would identify both places.

The Trump administration has continued to bar AP reporters from the Oval Office, Air Force One, and other official White House events. In February, the AP filed a lawsuit against White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles."
