AP sues Trump officials after being barred from some White House events

The Associated Press is suing three Trump administration officials after being barred from some White House events and spaces, citing a violation of First and Fifth Amendment rights.

The lawsuit — filed in federal district court in Washington — comes after nearly two weeks of the White House punishing the AP for not changing its guidelines on the Gulf of Mexico — which President Donald Trump renamed the "Gulf of America."
