His press pass had been revoked after a dust-up at a press conference with President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>On Twitter, CNN declared victory, saying: &#8220;Today the @WhiteHouse fully restored @Acosta&#8217;s press pass. As a result, our lawsuit is no longer necessary. We look forward to continuing to cover the White House.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was an abrupt about-face for the Trump administration, which said Friday that despite a judge&#8217;s injunction allowing Acosta back into the White House, it would seek to bar him again in two weeks.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"trb_ar_sponsoredmod\" data-v-ntidd=\"1069645\" data-adloader-networktype=\"nativo\" data-withinviewport-options=\"bottomOffset=100\" data-load-method=\"trb.vendor.nativo.init\" data-load-type=\"method\">\n<div class=\"trb_ar_nt\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The White House&#8217;s letter made clear his credentials could be threatened again. The officials said that at future press conferences, each reporter would be limited to a single question, with follow-up questions permitted at the discretion of the president or staff. It adds that &#8220;&#8216;Yielding the floor&#8217; includes &#8230; physically surrendering the microphone to White House staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter said failure to abide by the rules &#8220;may result in suspension or revocation of the journalist&#8217;s hard pass.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The White House revoked Acosta&#8217;s credentials after he and Trump tangled verbally during a Nov. 7 press conference. In the Friday ruling, Washington, D.C., District Court Judge Timothy Kelly restored Acosta&#8217;s credentials temporarily while a CNN lawsuit against the administration proceeded.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"trb_em trb_embed\" data-content-id=\"109695216\" data-content-size=\"small\" data-content-type=\"story\" data-content-slug=\"ct-cnn-acosta-white-house-press-credentials-20181116\" data-content-subtype=\"story\" data-role=\"sc_item  imgsize_ratiosizecontainer \" data-state=\"\">\n<figure class=\"trb_em_ic_figure\" data-role=\"imgsize_item\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"trb_em_ic_img\" title=\"Judge: White House must immediately return CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press credential\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trbimg.com\/img-5beefb48\/turbine\/ct-cnn-acosta-white-house-press-credentials-20181116\/550\/550x309\" alt=\"Judge: White House must immediately return CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press credential\" data-baseurl=\"http:\/\/www.trbimg.com\/img-5beefb48\/turbine\/ct-cnn-acosta-white-house-press-credentials-20181116\" data-c-nd=\"1985x1323\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"trb_em_r\" data-role=\"lightbox_metadata\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>In a letter sent later Friday, Sanders and Shine said they had made a preliminary decision to suspend Acosta&#8217;s pass.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"trb_ar_sponsoredmod\" data-v-ntidm=\"1069648\" data-withinviewport-options=\"bottomOffset=100&amp;topOffset=1000000\" data-load-method=\"trb.vendor.nativo.init\" data-load-type=\"method\"><\/aside>\n<p>They told Acosta his behavior &#8220;violated the basic standards&#8221; governing presidential news conferences because he asked follow-up questions and initially refused to give up a microphone to a White House intern.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has called for more &#8220;decorum&#8221; at the White House and has said staff is &#8220;writing up rules and regulations&#8221; for reporters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration said Monday that&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12137"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12138,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12137\/revisions\/12138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
