Former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta urged reporters targeted by President Donald Trump’s new media ban to remain on White House grounds — and prepare to sue.

“The reporters at the outlets that have been ‘banned’ should stay at the WH until their shifts are over,” Acosta wrote Friday on X.

Acosta recalled on social media leaving for dinner in 2018 after the Trump White House revoked his press pass. When he returned, Secret Service agents took his credentials....

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta says he's noticing fewer flags bearing President Donald Trump's name across rural Virginia, which he said signals a "vibe shift."

During a Thursday episode of "The Jim Acosta Show," Acosta told Beth Macy, a Democratic congressional candidate from the region, that she has a real chance to take over a GOP seat based on what he's seeing. Macy is running to unseat Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA).

"Something culturally is changing in that part of Virginia in rural Virginia," Acosta said. "I'm not seeing as many Trump flags as I used to. I used to see them all the time driving around."...

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta said he's alarmed by the redactions in a recently released Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer form.

In a Wednesday episode of "The Jim Acosta Show," former Justice Department pardon attorney Liz Oyer spoke to Acosta about the redactions in a transfer application given to Bloomberg investigative reporter Jason Leopold earlier this week. Maxwell was moved from a federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security facility in Texas shortly after then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche paid her a visit.

"What they're trying to do for Ghislaine Maxwell is really, it's just unconscionable," Acosta told Oyer. In a video posted earlier this week, Oyer explained that "almost every single part of the form is redacted."...

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta warned that foreign allies are concerned that President Donald Trump's politics represent more than an aberration.

During a recent episode of "The Jim Acosta Show," the former anchor and his guest, Jonathan V. Last from The Bulwark, said that the warning from abroad is that the United States needs more than a Democratic successor to Trump to avoid becoming 1930s Germany.

Last and Acosta were talking about Trump's threats to take over Greenland and his preference for North Korea over South Korea....

A former Republican operative slammed a GOP leader's planned tell-all and the idea that it would do anything by targeting Trump.

During an episode of The Jim Acosta Show, Steve Schmidt discussed the GOP's failure to stand up to President Donald Trump as they moved to confirm Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Schmidt brought up that Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is planning to write a book that goes after the Trump administration, and said it would be meaningless as long as Republicans like Tillis fall in line behind Trump's Justice Department.

"When there are people like Thom Tillis, who says he's going to write a book, exposing the degeneracy of the MAGA insiders, MAGATs he calls them. He's a maggot," Schmidt said. "He's on their team. He showers with Stephen Miller. What doesn't Thom Tillis understand about that? He scratches his back. They share a towel."...

Former CNN broadcaster Jim Acosta warned that President Donald Trump could be considered a "vandal" accused of damaging federal property — just as the president has threatened to others over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Acosta spoke with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) about the president's threat to arrest and charge anyone who damaged the remodeled monument during an episode of "The Jim Acosta Show" on Wednesday. He suggested Trump could be facing questions over vandalism.

"The Trump administration is talking about how destroying federal property is a crime, and it's true," Acosta said. "There is a law that says you can't destroy federal property. And I think if it's over $1,000 or something like that, it becomes potentially a felony and you could go to prison for 10 years."
