CNN:
Federal judge Timothy J. Kelly sided with CNN on Friday, ordering the White House to reinstate chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass.
The ruling was an initial victory for CNN in its lawsuit against President Trump and several top aides.
The lawsuit alleges that CNN and Acosta's First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the suspension of Acosta's press pass.
Kelly did not rule on the underlying case on Friday. But he granted CNN's request for a temporary restraining order.
This result means that Acosta will have his access to the White House restored for at least a short period of time. The judge said while explaining his decision that he believes that CNN and Acosta are likely to prevail in the case overall.

This could be one of those cases where the Italian makes an offer the judge cannot refuse.

Faramarz Jaan,
That was a wrong action to take on the part of the White House/Trump. It was infantile, at best. But sensationalism(read distraction) plays a somewhat important role in the American politics. Some Americans call such incidents as distractions. I agree.
And there are those who claim Americans are confused/cognitively dissonant due to the vast amount of information available to them. I do not see it that way. Most of the information is non-essential and can be ignored for the sake of more essential information relevant to both domestic and foreign policies.
I am glad Mr. Acosta is getting his card back.
Getting his card back doesn't necessarily mean that he would get some answers back...
