The administration as thus far given no less than 3 excuses for why they revoked Acosta’s hard pass....
1. For putting hands on the woman trying to take the mic from him.
2. For not giving up the mic when requested.
3. For being disruptive.
That they can’t make up their mind and even resorted to posting an edited video obtained from InfoWars reveals how weak the ground under them really is. I think CNN will prevail in their lawsuit and Acosta will return to the White House but Trump will prevail in the long run because he’ll never call on Acosta to ask a question.
you mean three truths.
Nope, none were true. Hence, Acosta gets his pass back.
They were all true and this will be appealed and overturned.
Access to the White House and the President is not a right.

There was no assault. That claim is absurd on its face, which is why the White House dropped it and moved onto their next excuse.
Acosta put the mic down when trump said, “put the mic down.”
He was not disruptive. He was asking multiple questions, which reporters do all the time. The press conference ran about an hour and a half and Costsa only engaged the president for less than 2 minutes.
As far as access to the White House and president, Trump doesn’t get to pick which reporters CNN sends. Trump can only ban a reporter if they violate White House rules, which Acosta did not. Which is why trump is drafting up new rules. Trump is still a public servant, the White House is still the peoples’ house, not trump’s, and the first Amendment still guarantees freedom of the press.
