Former President Donald Trump and his allies are ramping up efforts to challenge and intimidate the media, using both legal action and government influence.
The White House Correspondents’ Association, led by Eugene Daniels, is pushing back against increasing hostility toward journalists. Trump has also shifted his approach to Congress, opting for behind-the-scenes influence rather than public attacks.
