“It does not give special treatment to the Ap. In fact, the AP does not necessarily have the right to access the permanent press pool ‘first on the line’ enjoyed under the Whca [White House Correspondents’ Association]”The judge wrote.” But it cannot be treated worse than its pairs wire services. “
The AP had sued to recover its long -standing access to the spaces in the White House and the One Air Force.
