Tensions between CNN journalist Jim Acosta and President Donald Trump were again demonstrated Wednesday at a post-election press conference.

Trump declined to answer a follow-up question posed by Acosta, who persisted in his attempt to question the president on the investigation into Russia's interference in the election of 2016.

A White House aide tried to take Acosta's microphone, but the journalist kept it.

"I tell you, CNN should be ashamed to see you working for them," said the president, gesturing to Acosta. "You are a rude and terrible person."

A few hours later, the White House announced that Acosta is losing his credentials.

White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders, announced the move Wednesday night, explaining that this was due to both Acosta's behavior and its backtracking when an employee of the White House tried to touch him.

It was not the first time that Trump and White House officials had clashed with Acosta, whose network is frequently the target of "false information" attacks by the administration. Here is a brief history of other times when the journalist and the White House were bored.

Acosta asks Trump to call a journalist

At a press conference during Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation process in September by the Supreme Court, Mr. Acosta suggested that the president ask a reporter to ask questions about the allegations of misconduct formulated against the candidate.

"What does that mean," Trump replied, clearly irritated. Acosta said that he thought it was important for a woman to ask a question about the charges against Kavanaugh.

"That would not bother me at all," Trump replied. "It would not make any difference to me."

Sanders will not say if the press is "the enemy of the people" and Acosta goes away

While Trump frequently called the press "enemy of the people," Acosta asked Sanders to make it clear if she agreed.

The question of Acosta came after Trump's daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump stated that she did not believe that the press was the enemy of the people.

Sanders did not want to answer the question directly at the August press conference and said the media was pursuing her personally. "As far as I know, I'm the first press officer in the history of the United States to demand protection from the secret services," Sanders said.

Acosta left the conference and tweeted, "I am totally saddened by what has just happened."

"I'm just doing my job": Acosta shouts questions to Trump during the Easter roll

At the annual Easter session dedicated to families in the White House, Acosta asked Trump questions about the delayed action program on child arrivals.

"What about DACA children? Should they be worried about what will happen to them?" Acosta shouted, reports by pool.

President Trump replied that the Democrats had "let them down", but did not answer a follow-up question.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale criticized Acosta for the exchange, to which Acosta responded, "I'm just doing my job … which is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution."

"I love real news. No false news. You are a false news & # 39;

Acosta pressed Trump during a brief exchange following the murderous Charlottesville attack. Acosta wanted Trump to hold a fuller press conference after the attack (a day later he was holding one at Trump Tower), but Trump said he'd just held a conference (he had simply made some remarks and signed a memorandum on China's business practices).

"Can we ask you any more questions then, sir?" Acosta asked.

Trump replied, "It does not bother me at all, but you know, I love real news, no fake news, you're wrong, thank you all."

Miller says Acosta has a "cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree"

At a press conference related to an immigration proposal, Stephen Miller, advisor to the White House, and Acosta had a long debate about immigration to the United States.

Acosta spoke about a poem about the Statue of Liberty and then asked if the White House was trying to change what it means to be an immigrant.

Miller at one point asked, "Seriously do not CNN know the difference between green card policy and illegal immigration?"

Acosta then pointed out that he was the son of a Cuban immigrant.

Later, Miller said that Acosta was showing his "cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree".
