A federal judge in Washington, D.C., delayed his decision until Friday morning on CNN’s lawsuit seeking immediate restoration of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s press pass.

A decision had been expected Thursday afternoon.

Earlier this week, CNN sued President Trump and other White House officials, contending that they acted unconstitutionally when they stripped Acosta of his press credentials, known as a “hard pass.” The network is seeking a temporary restraining order while the case plays out.
