WASHINGTON ¨C A U.S. judge on Friday ordered the White House to temporarily restore CNN correspondent Jim Acosta¡¯s press pass, which was revoked after a contentious news conference last week with President Donald Trump.
The White House withdrew Acosta¡¯s credentials on Nov. 7 in an escalation of the Republican president¡¯s attacks on news organizations, who he has called enemies of the people.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who is hearing CNN¡¯s lawsuit challenging the revocation, said Acosta¡¯s credentials must be restored while the network¡¯s case is pending.
