Report: CNN Considering SUING The White House Over Jim Acosta’s Banishment

You know the story. Jim Acosta crossed the line, and the White House revoked his press pass. It’s not like the White House didn’t put him with him, and it’s not like Trump refused to answer his questions. Quite the contrary. During that “incident,” Trump answered his question. Things didn’t get weird until Acosta tried to debate him, because he didn’t like Trump’s answer.

All that being said, there’s now this. CNN is considering SUING the White House over Acosta’s banishment.

Former ABC News reporter and anchor Sam Donaldson appeared Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” and said he believed a lawsuit had already been filed.

“I hope I’m not mistaken, but it’s my understanding that CNN and Acosta have sued, that there will be a court hearing on Tuesday on this very matter that we’ve been discussing,” Donaldson said.

A spokesperson for the CNN said a lawsuit hadn’t been filed yet, but the network is weighing its options.

“No decisions have been made,” a spokesperson told the Washington Examiner. ‘We have reached out to the White House and gotten no response.”

Donaldson said he was told about the possible legal action because “I’ve been asked to give an affidavit, which I prepared, to be submitted to the court.”

Nothing is official yet (as of this post, anyway), but we’ll keep you posted!
