WASHINGTON (AP) — Key Republicans and Democrats in Congress have been stalwart supporters of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but the blowup between the Ukrainian leader and President Donald Trump is threatening to change that.

"The press and all people in the United States have the right to choose their own words and not be retaliated against by the government," the AP said in its lawsuit.

The Trump White House is trying to short-circuit the Associated Press' lawsuit against the administration by altering the decades-old protocols over which news outlets band together to cover the president when space is limited.
