The Associated Press has asked for a full hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, seeking to overturn last week's decision by three judges of that court that continues to allow the Trump administration to restrict the outlet's access to cover presidential events.

The administration barred the AP from the White House press pool for refusing to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” in its news coverage.

President Donald Trump is free to bar the Associated Press from some White House media events after a U.S. appeals court on Friday paused a lower court ruling mandating that AP journalists be given access.
