Associated press files agree with the White House officials on Friday, as the news agency was stopped from some programs by US President Donald Trump.
In a suit files in a federal court in Washington, AP said that the refusal of access violates the first amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speaking and press.
The White House started blocking the AP journalist from the Oval Office 10 days ago, which was on the refusal of the news agency to follow Trump’s executive order, in which the name of the Gulf of Mexico’s Gulf “America Gulf” Was given.
The ban on AP reporters was later extended to the Air Force one.
The news group said that these three Trump administration officials should “vindicate their rights for editorial freedom guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.”
“The White House has ordered the Associated Press to use some words in its coverage or faced an access to an indefinite denial of access.”
“All people in the Press and the United States have the right to choose their words and are not vengerated by the government,” it said.
“The Constitution does not allow the government to control speech. Search is a threat to American freedom, allowing the government’s control and vengeance to stand up.”
Defendants White House Chief of Staff Susan Wils and Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budovic are the names of the suit, as well as the press secretary of the White House, Karolin Lewet.
“We will see him in court,” Levit said during an attendance on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.
“We think we are right. We are going to make sure that truth and accuracy exist in that White House every day,” he said.
In its style guide, AP mentioned that the Gulf of Mexico has “extended that name for more than 400 years”.
“Associated Press will refer to it with his original name, accepting the new name selected to Trump,” it said.
“As a global news agency that spreads news around the world, AP must ensure that location and geography are easily recognizable for all spectators.”
Trump on Thursday called AP a “radical left organization” and said that the new Gulf of America’s name is something that we feel strongly. “
His advantage of press access reduces the long -standing enmity with the Republican President’s traditional news outlets, alleging that of him of prejudice.
The White House Correspondents Association has called AP excluding from Trump incidents derogatory.
