An Associated Press reporter was allowed into a White House event on Tuesday for the first time since the Trump administration banned the newsroom's journalists, an AP spokesperson confirmed to Axios.
The wire service has been banned from the White House press pool and other official events since February after it refused to change its style guide to align with the president's executive order on the Gulf of America.
