We are gratified by the court’s decision. Today’s ruling affirms the fundamental right of the press and public to speak freely without government retaliation. This is a freedom guaranteed for all Americans in the U.S. Constitution.
We look forward to continuing to provide factual, nonpartisan and independent coverage of the White House for billions of people around the world.
