''Formulating Rules, Regulation For White House Reporters', Says Donald Trump

The US President Donald Trump on Sunday, November 18 said that his administration is formulating "rules and regulations" for the White House reporters. In an interview to Fox News, Trump called CNN reporter Jim Acosta "unbelievably rude" to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee.

Acosta, the Chief White House Correspondent of CNN, was recently denied entry into the White House complex after his press pass was suspended following an altercation he had with the president during a news conference.

A federal US court later ordered the White House to immediately reinstate the press credentials of Acosta. Trump in the interview aired on Sunday admitted that he occasionally likes calling on the CNN reporter.

"Actually I like to do it, but in many cases I don't," Trump said.

"I think one of the things we'll do is maybe turn the camera off that faces them because then they don't have any airtime, although I'll probably be sued for that and maybe, you know, win or lose it, who knows," Trump said.

Calling Acosta "unbelievably rude" to Huckabee "who's a wonderful woman," Trump said his administration is currently formulating "rules and regulations" for White House reporters. Trump threatened to "throw out" CNN reporter Acosta if he "misbehaved" again.
