White House revokes CNN star Jim Acosta's press access after heated argument with President Trump
CNN's chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta held on to a microphone that a White House intern was trying to take from his hand resulting in a brief physical contact
Just hours after CNN's chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with President Donald Trump on Wednesday, the White House suspended his press pass access "until further notice."
Acosta tweeted Wednesday night: "I've just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8 pm hit."
