CNN Sues Trump to Restore Reporter's White House Access

Joshua Geltzer was quoted by Voice of America about the Trump administration's revocation of Jim Acosta's White House press credentials.

“To be sure, Trump is entitled to dislike Acosta and any other journalist. Many presidents have been angered by searching news coverage. But Trump’s revocation of Acosta’s credentials is, simply put, extraordinary,” said former National Security Council legal adviser, Joshua Geltzer, who is executive director and visiting professor of law at Georgetown’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection. “It’s violative of the freedoms of speech and of the press guaranteed by our Constitution, at the heart of our democracy, and long respected by presidential administrations of both parties, even in moments of great tension between the press and the president.”
