Earlier today or was reported that the White House was trying to ban Jim Acosta from the White House.
The White House has now given up:

The White House on Monday backed down from its threats to revoke Jim Acosta's press pass.

"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," the White House said in a new letter to Acosta. "Should you refuse to follow these rules in the future, we will take action in accordance with the rules set forth above. The President is aware of this decision and concurs."

The letter detailed several new rules for reporter conduct at presidential press conferences, including "a single question" from each journalist. Follow-ups will only be permitted "at the discretion of the President or other White House officials."

Do you have a credible source for that information?

I think this is a bad move by the white house if true.

I guess they can simply not call on him. Which of course, the fake news channel will then sue to be rude.

His pass had already been restored. It was announced earlier that when the temp
order was lifted he would be banned again.

CNN called for an emergency hearing to stop that. The WH backed off
of that while they complete their new "due process" Code of Conduct
for reporters.

The Code of Conduct for the media will be very simple and all those
reporters covering from the WH will be given a copy and will have to
sign a copy and return it to the WH.

It'll be no different than something every employee signs wherever they
work. It'll have the do's and don'ts of what they can and cannot do
and the possible punishment for not following the code.

That will satisfy the court order. Thus if someone breaks that code,
depending on the severity of the rule, their pass will be taken from
them and due process will have been satisfied

it was only worth a week suspension, anyway.
 
There is a court order restoring the pass. The judge remarking that Trump never has to call on Acosta.
If Trump had been happy with the judge's decision, he wouldn't have made up new rules.
Well they tried to make up new rules and apply them to Acosta's (admittedly boorish) behavior retrospectively, but that is pretty much the definition of failure to provide due process. So somebody at DOJ told them to stop acting stupid.

His pass had not already been restored until today. Read the news.

I'm sure Jim will have a grand time while sitting there twiddling his thumbs.

I do read the news.

His pass was restored to him hours after the verdict on Friday

Alcosta has a temporary 14 day reprieve while Trump writes the new rules to set higher standards of acceptable
behavior. The process will be Alcosta's real punishment - and quite entertaining to watch.
