CNN sues Trump administration over pulling Acosta press pass
By Justin Wise - 11/13/18 09:23 AM EST

CNN on Tuesday sued the Trump administration over suspending chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass.

"CNN filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration this morning in DC District Court," the news network said in a statement.

"It demands the return of the White House credentials of CNN's Chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta. The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta's First Amendment rights of freedom of the press, and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process. We have asked this court for an immediate restraining order requiring the pass be returned to Jim, and will seek permanent relief as part of this process."

The White House had suspended Acosta's press credentials last week after he was involved in a heated exchange with President Trump during a press conference.

This developing report will be updated.

CNN has filed a lawsuit against President Trump and several of his aides, seeking the immediate restoration of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's access to the White House.

The lawsuit is a response to the White House's suspension of Acosta's press pass, known as a Secret Service "hard pass," last week. The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN's First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning

Someone needs to remind CNN that pass is a privilege NOT a right.

FFS send another damn reporter.

Hell I've removed a particular reporter from my area before because he was being a jackass...the media outlet just sent another reporter.
