White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saids changes in press credentialing will rotate traditional outlets and include some streaming services.

In announcing plans to hand-select the reporters who can ask the president questions at many events, the White House is breaking decades of precedent.

The White House said Tuesday that its officials “will determine” which news outlets can regularly cover President Donald Trump up close — a sharp break from a century of tradition in which a pool of independently chosen news organizations go where the chief executive does and hold him accountable on behalf of regular Americans.

A federal judge declined on Monday to temporarily restore the Associated Press’ access to some of President Donald Trump’s events, the Oval Office and Air Force One.

A federal judge on Monday refused to immediately order the White House to restore The Associated Press’ access to presidential events, saying the news organization had not demonstrated it had suffered irreparable harm in the matter.

The White House says it will decide which news outlets have access to the president, ripping power away from an independent group of journalists.
