Here is CNN’s lawsuit against Trump challenging the revocation of Jim Acosta’s credentials (isn’t up in PACER yet) — it has three claims, under the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment (due process), and the Administrative Procedure Act (final agency action):
CNN sues @WhiteHouse so their rude selfish showboating reporter can get out of “time out” for his disrespectful treatment of intern and screaming at @realDonaldTrump If he has a “right” to be at WH then why can’t ANY reporter from any news source demand to be in press room?
