Trump attacks CNN reporter and judge over White House access lawsuit

rawstory.com —

President Donald Trump launched a post-midnight tirade against CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins and the judge overseeing a lawsuit over his ban of several news organizations from the White House, calling them "sleazebags" and "totally disloyal." Trump's comments came after Collins attended his United Nations General Assembly speech on Tuesday, which he cited as proof of a "TRUMP addiction" at CNN and other outlets. He also attacked U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, whom he appointed, noting Kelly previously ruled against the White House in a similar 2018 case involving CNN's Jim Acosta. The lawsuit, filed by CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, seeks to restore their access to the White House after the administration revoked their credentials. Trump's remarks highlight ongoing tensions between his administration and the press over coverage and access.
