\n\tDespite a court order, a reporter and photographer from The Associated Press were barred from an Oval Office news<\/a> conference on Monday with President Donald Trump and his counterpart from El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week\u2019s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is app<\/a>ealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump\u2019s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\n\tLater Monday, two AP photographers were admitted to an event honoring Ohio State\u2019s championship football team on the more spacious South Lawn. A text reporter was turned away.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince mid-February, AP reporters and photographers have been blocked from attending events in the Oval Office, where President Donald Trump frequently addresses journalists, and on Air Force One. The AP has seen sporadic access elsewhere, and regularly covers White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt\u2019s briefings. Leavitt is one of three administration officials named in the AP\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe dispute stems from AP\u2019s decision not to follow the president\u2019s executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico, although AP style does cite Trump\u2019s wish that it be called the Gulf of America. The AP argued \u2013 and U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden agreed last week \u2013 that the government cannot punish the news organization for exercising its right to free speech.<\/p>\n

\n\tMcFadden on Friday had rejected Trump\u2019s request for more delay in implementing the ruling; now the president is asking an appeals court for the same thing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe expect the White House to restore AP\u2019s participation in the (White House press) pool as of today, as provided in the injunction order,\u201d AP spokeswoman Lauren Easton said Monday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe extent of AP\u2019s future access remains uncertain, even with the court decision.<\/p>\n

\n\tUntil being blocked by Trump, AP has traditionally always had a reporter and photographer among the small group of journalists invited into the Oval Office. McFadden did not order that to be restored, only that no news organization should be shut out because the president objects to its news decisions \u2014 under a principle called \u201cviewpoint discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNo other news organization in the United States receives the level of guaranteed access previously bestowed upon the AP,\u201d the administration argued in court papers over the weekend. \u201cThe AP may have grown accustomed to its favored status, but the Constitution does not require that such status endure in perpetuity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
