The White House changed rules for news reporters. Now, it is more difficult for reporters from other countries to see Donald Trump. This happened after the White House lost a court case about letting news reporters see the president. The new government wants to manage what the news says.

The White House stopped The Associated Press from news. A judge said this was wrong.

The White House has a new plan. It says who can ask the press secretary questions.

The White House did not answer questions on Tuesday evening.

A judge said the White House was wrong. They stopped AP reporters from going to events. This happened because the reporters did not change a name. The judge said the White House must treat AP like other news groups.

The White House gave a new rule to some reporters. This was after they did not let AP reporters come to a meeting.

A group of reporters at the White House chose reporters for small events. They chose reporters from AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg. One reporter from a newspaper could also go. A different newspaper reporter went each time.

The White House has two spots for many reporters to share.

The White House said Trump's helper can choose the reporters. The new rule says reporters can come even if they have different ideas.

The AP said they were sad because the White House stopped access for all news groups.

A person from AP said: We help many news groups in the US and the world. Local news uses our work to tell people in their towns what is happening.

Easton said on Tuesday night that the government is not letting people speak freely.

A group of reporters said the White House wants to choose who writes about the president. They said this shows the White House might not be fair to everyone.

Eugene Daniels said: "The government should not tell the news what to say."

With Leavitt, the White House lets news people who like Trump come in more. On Tuesday, a reporter asked two questions and said good things about Trump's plan.

On Monday, Trump was angry because a reporter from CNN asked him a question.

Trump talks to the media a lot. He talks to them more than Joe Biden did.

The new rule did not talk about photographers.

AP did not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. The court said the government cannot tell AP what to write. People can say what they think.

The White House says reporters cannot always see the president.

Other news groups in the US don't get the same special access as the AP. The AP liked being special, but the law doesn't say it must be special always.

They will go to court on Thursday because they don't like the decision.

The boss didn't let the reporters see Mr. Leavitt for two months. They could not go to some events. But on Tuesday, one reporter could go.
