Associated Press banned from Oval Office meeting

The Associated Press was banned Monday from an Oval Office meeting between President Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. A reporter and photographer for the news wire service were both allegedly denied access to the event. The decision to deny AP's participation in the White House in-town press pool Monday comes despite a U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden ruling last week that the White House violated the Constitution by blocking the publication's access to events. Earlier this year, the White House previously banned the Associated Press from events after the wire service said it would not refer to the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America" after President Trump signed an executive order renaming the body of water.
