CNN could be preparing to sue the White House days after President Donald Trump's administration revoked Jim Acosta's media credentials, according to reports. 

A veteran lawyer and expert in First Amendment law, Floyd Abrams, while talking to CNN's Reliable Sources on Sunday, said that the television network had a strong case against the White House after Acosta's press access was revoked last week.

"I think it's a really strong lawsuit. I can understand CNN being reluctant to sue because the president keeps saying CNN is the enemy of me, and CNN might have the reluctance to have a lawsuit titled 'CNN vs. Donald Trump.' That said, yes, I think they should sue," Abrams said.
