White House Restricts Access to Wire Service Reporters Including AP and Reuters 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The White House is issuing new media restrictions that will
significantly curtail access to President Trump by media wire services,
including the Associated Press and Reuters. This comes after a federal
judge ruled the Trump administration had violated the AP's free speech
rights when it banned reporters from the White House after the news
agency refused to adopt Trump's new name for the Gulf of Mexico.
