This morning, CNN filed a lawsuit against @realDonaldTrump and top aides. The White House has violated CNN and @Acosta's First Amendment rights of freedom of the press and Fifth Amendment rights to due process. Complaint: cnn.it/2OEx8L1
@realDonaldTrump @Acosta Statement from @BoutrousTed, attorney for CNN & @Acosta:
Statement from Ted Olson, attorney for CNN and @Acosta:
Attorney for CNN and @Acosta, @BoutrousTed, breaks down the wrongful revocation of credentials and how it violates CNN and Acosta’s First Amendment rights of freedom of the press, and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process.
George Freeman, Executive Director of the @MediaLawMLRC weighs in: "CNN has a very strong case." Full statement:
Statement from the @ACLU: "It is un-American and unlawful for the president to expel a reporter from the WH briefing room for doing his job. It shouldn’t take a lawsuit from CNN to remind the president of the First Amendment. The WH should reverse its decision immediately.”
Ted Olson, attorney for CNN and @Acosta: "The First Amendment is absolutely necessary. It is the public's window into what public officials are doing. Journalists cannot be silenced, censored or intimidated. That's the end of the line. The White House cannot get away with this."
