A conservative television network is asking the White House to intervene in its feud with the White House Correspondent Association (WHCA), a private organization that controls access to the White House press briefing room.
In a letter to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, lawyers for One America News (OAN) network argue that the White House briefing room is federal property which can not be controlled by a private entity like the WHCA. As an example, the lawyers point to the Supreme Court, where press access is determined by the federal government.
