Playboy senior White House reporter Brian Karem has filed suit against the White House to restore his press credentials, which were suspended last Friday.

Karem was involved in a tense confrontation with conservative commentator Sebastian Gorka after President Trump hosted a social media summit on July 11. Karem referred to the mostly conservative social media personalities gathered in the Rose Garden as a “group of people that are eager for demonic possession.” Karem then taunted Gorka, winking at him and offering him a chance to “go outside and have a long conversation.”
