The Associated Press is objecting to Donald Trump's characterization of its ongoing legal dispute over access after the president incorrectly characterized the case in a public forum — a situation that goes back to the news service's decision last winter not to follow an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
Trump, speaking Sunday on an aircraft carrier while marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy, said that “we got sued by The Associated Press and they lost.” The president said the “liberal” AP “got thrown out of court” and that “they're almost not allowed to cover me anymore.”
