White House Plans To Revoke CNN Reporter's Press Access - Again

Jim Acosta of CNN

On Friday, a federal judge ordered the return of CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press pass to the White House.

Now, the White House is asking CNN to make the case for Acosta's continued access. Based on the response they receive, the White House may attempt to revoke his press pass yet again.

According to Axios, CNN says, "The White House is continuing to violate the First and Fifth amendments of the Constitution. These actions threaten all journalists and news organizations. Jim Acosta and CNN will continue to report the news about the White House and the President."

But Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News over the weekend, "If certain reporters like Jim Acosta can't be adults, then CNN needs to send somebody in there who can be."

Speaking to Fox News' Chris Wallace on Sunday, Donald Trump said: "If he misbehaves, we’ll throw him out or we’ll stop the news conference."

CNN is reportedly heading back to court to stop the hi-jinks.
