White House revokes reporter’s press pass

The White House took the highly unusual step of revoking a reporter’s press pass after press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders retweeted doctored video of an encounter between CNN’s Jim Acosta and a White House intern during President Trump’s press conference Wednesday. The intern tried to grab a microphone from Acosta’s hand several times, and his wrist briefly brushed with her arm before he immediately said, “Pardon me, ma’am.” The doctored video omits audio of this statement and shows Acosta’s arm movement sped up.
