Trump warns he'll turn off the cameras facing reporters as part of his 'new rules' for the media in wake of Jim Acosta regaining his press pass
President Donald Trump said he would turn off cameras facing reporters so they don't get any air time as part of his new rules for the media
The White House is threatening tighter regulations on the press
It's unclear if the president meant cameras in press conferences in the White House or in the press briefings in the West Wing
The networks control the TV cameras but the White House could limit the number of camera positions, which would cut down on shots of reporters
White House denied Acosta access and confiscated his 'hard pass' after press-conference shouting match with Trump and tussle over a mic
CNN sued on Tuesday on First Amendment grounds, claimed Acosta was denied a Fifth Amendment right to due process
A judge ordered Acosta's hard pass returned to him
Acosta returned to the White House hours later, and Trump warned that it was just a temporary setback, telling reporters to 'behave' in press conferences
He told Fox News in a televised interview that he would throw Acosta out of future press conferences 'if he misbehaves'
Also threatened to abruptlly walk out of Q&A events if Acosta hassles him
