Following the recent banning of a CNN Reporter, Jim Acosta, by US President, Donald Trump, CNN on Tuesday has gone to court seeking for a restraining order. CNN alleged that the White House violated Acosta’s rights under the constitution by revoking his press credentials following a heated exchange with the US president.
The statement reads;
“The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta’s First Amendment rights of freedom of the press, and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process.”
“We have asked this court for an immediate restraining order requiring the pass be returned to Jim, and will seek permanent relief as part of this process.”
The Point will bring the details as event unfolds.
