The White House announced it will control which news outlets get access to President Donald Trump, breaking from the century-old practice of independent press pool selection.

Critics argue it undermines press freedom, while the White House frames it as modernization. A federal judge declined immediate intervention, but legal battles continue as Trump asserts his administration’s authority over media access. br br #Trump #WhiteHouse #PressFreedom #MediaAccess #Journalism #FirstAmendment #TrumpAdministration #APNews #WhiteHousePress #BreakingNews #USPolitics #MediaRights #PressPool #TrumpPressPolicy #Democracy #Journalists #NewsAccess #ExecutiveOrder #PoliticalNews #FreedomOfPressbr br Also Readbr br Moroccan Journalist Hamid Mahdaoui Sentenced to 1.
