'You're such a smartass': Kellyanne Conway slams CNN reporter Jim Acosta for asking if Trump would 'tell the truth'
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway slammed CNN reporter Jim Acosta during a Tuesday press conference held in the White House driveway
President Trump's counselor Kellyanne Conway and CNN reporter Jim Acosta got into a contentious back and forth during a Tuesday press conference held in the White House driveway hours before the president's primetime address on the border wall. The address comes amid the deadlock between Senate Democrats and the president over funding for the border wall which has led to a partial government shutdown.
During the press conference, Conway talked about the importance of border security and said the president would have to resort to using emergency powers if the Democrats did not comply with his demands.
