"CNN has filed a lawsuit against President Trump and several White House aides after chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's hard pass, a White House security clearance, was suspended. Acosta and Trump clashed during a press conference last week. ___ When Acosta attempted to enter the White House last Wednesday, he was denied access. The lawsuit alleges that the suspension violates his first and fifth amendment rights and calls for an immediate reinstatement of Acosta's press credentials. ___ ""He physically refused to surrender a White House microphone to an intern, so that other reporters might ask their questions. This was not the first time this reporter has inappropriately refused to yield to other reporters,"" said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. ___ ""While the suit is specific to CNN and Acosta, this could have happened to anyone. If left unchallenged, the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials,"" said CNN.: U.S. NEWS  CNN LAWSUIT  Nov 13
