White House: CNN lawsuit ‘just more grandstanding’

CNN is suing the Trump administration over the suspension of chief White House reporter Jim Acosta’s credential; analysis from Howard Kurtz, host of ‘MediaBuzz.’

CNN has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration which White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called “just more grandstanding.”

The suit alleges that the White House unfairly revoked CNN commentator Jim Acosta’s White House pass after he manhandled a White House intern who was trying to retrieve a microphone from him.

“After Acosta asked two questions,” Sanders said. “He physically refused to surrender a White House microphone to an intern, so that other reporters might ask their questions.”
