Acosta has had his White House credentials revoked after engaging in a fiery exchange with Donald Trump during a press conference after the mid-term elections. Acosta asked Trump about immigration and Trump refused to answer Acosta's questions, repeatedly telling him to sit down. Acosta initially refused to relinquish the microphone and the White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders later tweeted that Acosta had placed his hands on the young woman.
