CNN is suing President Donald Trump and various White House aides over the administration's ban on chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta.

CNN's lawsuit alleges that Acosta and CNN's First and Fifth amendment rights are being violated by the ban.

Named in CNN's lawsuit against the White House are Donald Trump, John Kelly, Sarah Sanders, Bill Shine, Joseph Clancy, and the Secret Service officer who took Acosta's hard pass away.

"While the suit is specific to CNN and Acosta, this could have happened to anyone," the network said today.

"If left unchallenged, the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials."

The lawsuit seeks the immediate restoration of Acosta's access to the White House.
