Just when you thought CNN couldn't go lower, they do.
I wonder how many feet below surface they are now?

New York (CNN) — CNN has filed a lawsuit against President Trump and several of his aides, seeking the immediate restoration of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's access to the White House.
The lawsuit is a response to the White House's suspension of Acosta's press pass, known as a Secret Service "hard pass," last week. The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN's First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning.
Both CNN and Acosta are plaintiffs in the lawsuit. There are six defendants: Trump, chief of staff John Kelly, press secretary Sarah Sanders, deputy chief of staff for communications Bill Shine, the director of the Secret Service, and the Secret Service officer who took Acosta's hard pass away last Wednesday. The officer is identified as John Doe in the suit, pending his identification.

I had read that the Secret Service had requested that Acosta's WH pass be rescinded. Apparently, that is not the case (if you see something re: the SS, pls let me know - thx) but he is suing the Donald and some key aides.
------------------
The White House Correspondents' Association said it "strongly supports CNN's goal of seeing their correspondent regain a US Secret Service security credential that the White House should not have taken away in the first place."

The first amendment protects free speech, but it does not protect you from being rude, disrespecting the President and allegedly touching the arm of a 98 lb intern.
You're obnoxious, Jimbo. Truly a GNAT and a pimple on the nation's a$$, imo
