If Acosta misbehaves, he'll be thrown out from pressers: Trump

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Reacting to a federal United States court’s ruling which ordered the White House to reinstate CNN correspondent Jim Acosta’s press credentials, President Donald Trump on Friday warned the scribe that he could be thrown out if he “misbehaved” at future press conferences. “Yeah, it’s fine. I mean, it’s not a big deal,” Trump said in an interview.

“What they said though is that we have to create rules and regulations for conduct, etc., etc. We’re doing that, were going to write them up right now. It’s not a big deal. And if he misbehaves, we’ll throw him out or we’ll stop the news conference,” the US president said-.

Recalling the verbal spat with Acosta, who is CNN’s chief White House correspondent, Trump said, “We had a lot of reporters in that room, many, many reporters in that room and they were unable to ask questions because this guy gets up and starts you know doing what he’s supposed to be doing for him and for CNN and you know just shouting out questions and making statements, too.”

Acosta thanked his colleagues in the press who supported him this week.”I want to thank the judge for the decision he made today. Let’s go back to work,” he told reporters after the US District court reinstated his White House press credentials.
