A federal judge on Friday ordered the White House to immediately reinstate CNN correspondent Jim Acosta’s security pass, siding with the network and other news organizations in a major lawsuit over press access.
President Donald Trump’s administration had stripped Acosta of his White House press pass after a dispute involving a news conference last week. CNN argued that the White House was unfairly punishing him because it disagreed with his coverage and that it had not followed appropriate steps to revoke his security badge.
