Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: A federal judge denied the Associated Press’ emergency motion for a temporary restraining order… The judge’s decision reinforces the truth: Asking the President of the United States questions in limited spaces such as the Oval Office and Air Force One is a privilege. It is not a legal right for all.

Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: It’s a very simple idea when you think about it: All this administration is asking is for federal workers, who live off the American taxpayers’ dime, to send five bullet points of what they have done in the previous week. That’s all we are asking for.”

Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: “The border wall is a signature promise of President Trump’s campaign… Under the previous administration, illegal border crossings dropped 87% where there was a border wall. The wall is an incredible deterrent factor for illegal migrant caravans.”

Leavitt: As you all saw yesterday, a federal judge denied the Associated Press’s emergency motion for a temporary restraining order against myself, our Deputy Chief of Staff, Taylor Budowich, and our Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles for our decision to remove the associated press from the White House press pool for certain and special events. The judge’s ruling, upholding our decision to deny the Associated Press such privileged access, reinforces the truth. And it reiterates what I said from this podium last week when that suit was filed.

Asking the President of the United States questions in limited spaces, such as the Oval Office and Air Force One, is a privilege that, unfortunately, has only been granted to a few. It is not a legal right for all.
