Trump Defies Court Order, Blocks AP from Oval Office Access

The Trump administration has barred Associated Press journalists from attending an Oval Office event, despite a federal court order mandating their reinstated access. The incident occurred during a meeting between President Trump and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele. The Associated Press condemned the move, calling it a violation of the court's injunction and a troubling sign of the administration's disregard for press freedom and judicial authority. This marks a continuation of tensions between the Trump White House and the media. Legal and media experts warn that such defiance could set a dangerous precedent for press access and rule of law.
