Last week, a federal judge ordered the White House to reinstate Jim Acosta as an accredited White House reporter following a ridiculous spat in which Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted out a doctored video purporting to show him “getting physical” with an intern. The issue appeared to be resolved, but if you’ve spent any time watching our government for the past two years, you probably already knew that this wouldn’t be the end of the story.
CNN reports that the White House has apparently warned Jim Acosta that his press pass may once again be revoked at the end of the month. That sent the network right back to the U.S. District Court that ruled in its favor last week.
