Chief Whitehouse corrrespondent Jim Acosta granted the right to regain his press
(PEN) NEW YORK, November 16, 2018 - In response to a federal judge’s ruling on CNN’s request for a court order that would temporarily restore CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s access to the White House, PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel released the following statement:
“As the first organization to file suit challenging the president’s First Amendment violations, PEN America applauds today’s court decision vindicating the First Amendment, temporarily reinstating CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s press pass and repudiating the government’s claim that the president’s right to an orderly press conference trumps the American people’s right to a free press.
