HuffPost Back In White House Press Pool After Being Booted

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING After booting a HuffPost reporter out of the pool of journalists who follow the president last month, the White House reversed course on Friday. The White House press pool is responsible for tracking the president throughout the day and sending updates to the broader group of reporters who cover the president. Last month, the White House kicked out reporters from HuffPost, Reuters and The Associated Press from the pool, escalating a fight that began after Trump administration officials insisted The Associated Press comply with Trump’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” “HuffPost condemns this egregious violation of the First Amendment. “The White House must stop this cowardly behavior and restore HuffPost’s place in the press pool immediately.” Associated Press journalists testified in court on Friday as part of the storied news organization’s effort to overturn a White House ban on being able to cover events on its grounds.
