White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the Trump administration made the correct decision in banning CNN reporter Jim Acosta from the White House.

“The question is: Did the reporter make contact or not? The video is clear, he did,” she said in a statement on Nov. 8. “We stand by our statement.”
