White House working on new rules for reporters

White House working on new rules for reporters in wake of Acosta decision, Trump says

President Trump on Friday said the White House is working on new “rules and regulations” for reporters after a judge ordered the administration to restore the suspended press credentials of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta.

"We want total freedom of the press," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that "we have to practice decorum."

“We’re setting up a certain standard which is what the court is requesting,” the president said.

It only cares about the notice and opportunity to be heard before revoking the pass. Doofus.

For now. It has not addressed 1st amendment issues yet.

Bring Back the White House Press Consultants entity. The speaker can just ignore any correspondent they want. That's how other (sane) presidents have done it. This is in-your-face "controlling the enemy"....the press.
