CNN’s Jim Acosta has White House press pass ‘temporarily restored’

A judge has temporarily restored the White House press pass of under fire CNN reporter Jim Acosta, the US media giant says.

Acosta had his security card withdrawn after clashing with US President Donald Trump at a press conference, Euronews reports.

CNN submitted a lawsuit challenging the revocation.

US District Judge Timothy Kelly, who is hearing the lawsuit, told the White House to restore Acosta’s pass while the case is pending.
