President Donald Trump ordered CNN’s Jim Acosta out of the Oval Office on Tuesday after the network’s controversial White House correspondent kept badgering the president as a press session with reporters wrapped up.

Acosta has become known for repeatedly interrupting the president and members of his staff and using televised question and answer sessions to deliver lengthy monologues.
