6 Memorable Clashes at Presidential News Conferences

President Donald Trump and CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta have their own styles that may seem outside the lines of “decorum” to some. But presidential duels with reporters aren’t unique to the current president or any network.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released a new set of rules for journalists Monday evening after reinstating Acosta’s press pass. CNN dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration.

The White House revoked Acosta’s hard pass after a Nov. 7 news conferencewhere the reporter refused to yield the microphone after Trump sought to move on to another reporter.

Trump lectured Acosta: “CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.”

The new White House rules state: “A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists.”
