The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the blocking of its journalists.
The lawsuit was filed Friday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., 10 days after the White House began restricting access to the news agency.
The AP says its case is about an unconstitutional effort by the White House to control speech — in this case not changing its style from the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” as President Donald Trump did last month with an executive order.
The lackeys were the ones actually doing the illegal act. To sue Trump they will need to prove he gave direct orders to censor media and that it’s not a “will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” situation. And even in that case the lackeys still need to be held accountable for following illegal orders.
