The Trump administration renewed its efforts to suspend the hard pass of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta on Nov. 16 shortly after receiving a court order to restore the credentials, according to letters and emails revealed in court filings on Nov. 19.
In a Nov. 16 letter (pdf), top White House communications officials Bill Shine and Sarah Sanders inform Acosta of a preliminary decision to suspend his recently-restored hard pass and inform the correspondent that he can appeal the decision in writing.
