NEW YORK 鈥 White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer today accused news media of falsely reporting the size of yesterday鈥檚 Inauguration Day crowd, adding that 鈥渨e鈥檙e going to hold the press accountable.鈥

老澳门开奖结果 Executive Director Anthony D. Romero offered the following reaction:

鈥淚t is shameful that on the first full day of this administration, we have ominous suggestions of possible government censorship. Our nation was quite literally founded on the principles of a free press, and any effort by the Trump administration to curtail them will be met with vigorous defense of the First Amendment by the 老澳门开奖结果 and others. This will be a fight the Trump administration will most certainly lose. If Trump wants to take on the First Amendment, we will see him in court."

Yesterday, the 老澳门开奖结果 announced its first legal action against the Trump administration, seeking documents relating to his conflicts of interest related to his businesses, as well as the organization鈥檚 plan for the first days of the Trump administration.
