Circuit temporarily blocks an order by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who ruled on April 8 that the Trump administration must allow AP journalists access to the Oval Office, Air Force One and White House events while the news agency's lawsuit moves forward.

He’s donated $2 million to President Trump’s Inaugural Committee, and his donations to Trump are 7 times the amount he donated to Democrats. Those are just facts, regardless of who you support for the role of NASA Administrator. I am not trying to change...

Biden-era officials could face increasing legal pressure over misrepresentations to Congress about administration policy and where it overlapped with President Biden’s health as Republicans clamor for accountability. Decisions by Biden Administration officials to hide key evidence, stubbornly delay responses to subpoenaed records, or allegedly cover up President Biden’s declining mental and physical health are facing new scrutiny from congressional Republicans now dealing with a cooperative executive branch. The latest internal FBI memos released by Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, put former bureau Director Christopher Wray in hot water over his prior testimony to Congress, which Grassley wrote was “misleading.” Targeting Catholics...
