The Associated Press sued multiple officials in the Trump administration on Feb. 21, alleging that the White House was engaging in an unconstitutional effort to control speech.

“This targeted attack on the AP’s editorial independence and ability to gather and report the news strikes at the very core of the First Amendment,” the agency said in a lawsuit.
