White House says it will decide which news outlets cover Trump

Move comes a day after administration won ruling allowing it to bar AP from the Oval Office and Air Force One

The White House said it will take control over which news organizations and reporters are allowed into the presidential press pool covering Donald Trump.

“The White House press team in this administration will determine who gets to enjoy the very privileged and limited access in spaces such as Air Force One and the Oval Office,” the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing on Tuesday.
