Justifying its removal of Jim Acosta’s pass to the White House, Trump’s White House posted doctored videos from far right website Infowars to accuse the CNN reporter of accosting a female intern. The doctored video shows Acosta and the intern fighting over a microphone just before Trump orders the intern to kneel in a humiliating position. In the actual event she tried three toimes to grab the microphone as he moved way. In the doctored video it shoes him pushing her arm away and does it three times making it appear as if he was aggressive.
Announcing Mr Acosta’s suspension, Ms Sanders said the White House would “never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job”.
