Boy, Never saw this one coming from that stuffed shirt Woody.
Famed Watergate journalist Bob Woodward blasted CNN for suing the Trump administration over its suspension of Jim Acosta’s press credentials, according to a report.
“Too many people for Trump or against Trump have become emotionally unhinged about this,†Woodward said at the Global Financial Leadership Conference in Naples, Florida, on Tuesday, according to Fox News.
“The remedy [isn’t a lawsuit],†argued Woodward, whose explosive tell-all “Fear†described a White House in disarray. “It’s more serious reporting about what he’s doing.â€
The cable news network filed a lawsuit in US District Court in Washington, DC, seeking to have the White House correspondent’s so-called “hard pass†restored after he was banned for tussling with an intern during a news conference with President Trump.
Woodward said that CNN was taking the president’s “bait†by hiring high-profile attorney Ted Olson to pursue the federal case.
“This is a negative,†he said. “Trump is sitting around saying, ‘This is great!’â€
CNN’s lawsuit alleges that the White House violated Acosta’s First and Fifth Amendment rights by penalizing him for the content of his speech without providing notice or due process.
