On Friday, September 18, 2026, President Donald Trump made a bold announcement that he was banning several news outlets from the White House.
“I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW… and Politico from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America.”
The “ban” had many questioning the legality of the maneuver since it’s not the first time Trump has attempted to keep certain journalists away. In 2018, he revoked CNN’s then chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s press pass.
However, just a few days later, Acosta’s press credentials were restored due to a court order. So, where is Acosta, 55, today?
View this post on InstagramFollowing his confrontation with Trump, Acosta wrote “The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America,” in which he opened up about the ordeal.
“I don’t believe reporters are supposed to be the story,” Acosta wrote in the 2019 book. “That’s how I was trained. But at that press conference, I had faced a choice: Do we just absorb Trump’s attacks? Or do we push back and stand up for ourselves?”
Acosta remained at CNN until 2025, when he departed the news outlet. However, he has stayed busy. He launched The Jim Acosta Show on Substack, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts. He also married fellow journalist Liz Landers in June 2026.
And as expected, Acosta reacted to Trump’s latest attempt to ban CNN from the White House.
“I have a feeling this is not going to work out the way he thinks it will,” he wrote on X before adding, “‘The ban on the free press,’ he says. How un-American.”
