Trump administration backs down and DROPS plan to keep reporter Jim Acosta out of the White House
The administration backed down.The White House backed down Monday in its battle over CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, deciding not to pursue its November 7 decision to ban him from the building.
In a letter to Acosta, the White House told him: 'Having received a formal reply from your counsel to our letter of November 16, we have made a final determination in this process: your hard pass is restored.'
'There's the sense that we made our point and it's time to make this go away,' a White House official said Monday morning, while declining to speak on specifics surrounding the case.
