White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a blistering statement on Tuesday firing back at CNN and reporter Jim Acosta for the network’s “grandstanding” lawsuit against the Trump administration. Last week, the White House rescinded Acosta’s hard press pass indefinitely after he physically stopped an intern from taking the microphone from him so another reporter could ask a question.
“We have been advised that CNN has filed a complaint challenging the suspension of Jim Acosta’s hard pass. This is just more grandstanding from CNN, and we will vigorously defend against the lawsuit,” said Sanders in the statement.
