The Trump Administration was in court defending its decision to revoke CNN Chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s press pass, arguing reporters don’t have a Constitutional right to access the White House.
CNN sued after the White House pulled Acosta’s “hard pass,” citing his conduct at a Nov. 7 news conference where he refused to hand over a microphone. The network is asking a judge to reinstate Acosta’s pass immediately. A hard pass allows people unescorted access to the White House and its grounds.
