TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The cable network demanded the return of Acosta’s credentials in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.
It said the White House violated the First Amendment right to free speech as well as the due process clause of the Constitution providing fair treatment through judicial process.
Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, dismissed the action as “just more grandstanding from CNN, and we will vigorously defend against this lawsuit.”
