Associated Press Warns Of Trump White House Ban In Latest Court Filing: “The Constitution Does Not Allow The Government To Control Speech”
The AP's legal team wrote that "the Constitution does not allow the government to control speech"

The pool is the smaller group of White House journalists who cover presidential events that typically have limited capacity, such as the recent Oval Office meeting between Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky.
