Government agencies give conflicting orders after Musk demands employees list accomplishments from past week by Monday deadline

A federal judge on Monday is set to consider a request by the Associated Press (AP) to restore full access for the news agency’s journalists after Donald Trump’s administration barred them for continuing to refer to the Gulf of Mexico in coverage.

US District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, is scheduled to hear the AP’s motion for a temporary restraining order against the administration at 3pm ET (2000 GMT) in Washington federal court.
