CNN Sues White House

  • 6 years ago
President Donald Trump and several aides have been hit with a lawsuit from CNN to try and get senior White House reporter Jim Acosta's press pass restored. Broadcasting Cable reports Acosta's pass was revoked after he pressed the President in a press conference and briefly refused to give up his mic when approached by a White House intern. The suit was filed in a U.S. District Court in Washington Tuesday. Both CNN and Acosta are cited as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. CNN argues that the D.C. Circuit court has already made it clear that "access [to White House press facilities] not be denied arbitrarily or for less than compelling reasons."
