    Default White House backs down from legal fight, restores Jim Acosta's press pass

    The White House on Monday said that CNN correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass has been "restored," bowing to days of pressure and a federal lawsuit against the administration.

    CNN signaled that it would drop the ongoing litigation over Acosta's access to the White House.
    "Today the White House fully restored Jim Acosta's press pass. As a result, our lawsuit is no longer necessary," the network said in a statement. "We look forward to continuing to cover the White House."

    They are cowards, never intended to do anything. Talk is cheap.

    They'll keep trying.

    Trump never knows when to stop digging. It is the one trait he has that I like. He eventually will bury himself.

    A White House official tells CBS News' Fin Gomez the White House will not attempt to revoke Acosta's credentials again over the Nov. 7 exchange between the president and Acosta.

    "Today the @WhiteHouse fully restored @Acosta's press pass. As a result, our lawsuit is no longer necessary. We look forward to continuing to cover the White House," CNN tweeted.
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    Trump wins again! He just won't call on Acosta forever.

    Trump is afraid of a journalist.

    The Trump white house also really needs to apologize to Costa for spreading bogus innuendo and implying that he assaulted the female intern; that he "inappropriately" touched her.

    But an apology would take actual character.
