The White House was ordered Tuesday by a federal judge to reverse its suspension of a reporter's press credentials.
Playboy reporter Brian Karem's White House pass was temporarily revoked after he argued with President Donald Trump's former aide Sebastian Gorka at a July Rose Garden event.
Karem's "hard pass" -- a long-term White House press pass -- was suspended for 30 days in August by Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, who cited his lack of "professionalism" and "decorum."
Grisham had not originally cited the Acosta rules in her letters to Karem, Contreras said, "which casts some doubt on whether she thought that (they) provided any meaningful notice."
Karem called the attendees "a group of people who are eager for demonic possession."
