CNN and its chief White House reporter, Jim Acosta, sued Trump Tuesday after Acosta’s hard pass was yanked following aggressive questioning last week during a press conference … Trump and Co. pulled his pass after he made contact with a White House intern, who was trying to take the mic away from him.
CNN argued in court Trump was infringing on Acosta’s 1st and 5th Amendment rights by pulling his press pass, adding the real reason behind the move is his extreme hatred for CNN.
For his part, Trump’s White House lawyers responded by saying the Prez can pick and choose who gets on White House grounds to cover his administration.
