Wrong man: Michigan judge gets angry calls over CNN ruling

BAY CITY, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan judge’s office fielded angry phone calls after callers mistook him for a federal judge who restored CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s access to the White House.

Bay County District Court Judge Timothy J. Kelly was out of the office Nov. 16 when U.S. District Court Judge Timothy J. Kelly in the District of Columbia granted Acosta a two-week injunction to return to work.

The White House had initially revoked Acosta’s credentials after he and Trump tangled verbally during a Nov. 7 press conference.

MLive.com reports judge Kelly’s Bay City office received a half-dozen phone calls complaining about the other Timothy J. Kelly’s ruling. The Bay County judge said he thinks the callers “would at least do your homework” before calling to complain.
