White House Press Pass Restored to CNN Reporter
November 16, 2018
Jim Acosta, CNN reporter, regained his White House Press Pass after a tumultuous week. Acosta, after a fiery exchange with President Donald Trump, had his press pass revoked. This would lead CNN to request a court order to temporarily reinstate this pass.
Acosta and CNN are happy with this ruling, tweeting “We are gratified with this result and we look forward to a full resolution in the coming days. Our sincere thanks to all who have supported not just CNN, but a free, strong and independent American press.”
The White House has yet to comment.
