President-elect Donald Trump clashed with CNN's Jim Acosta on Wednesday during his first press conference in 167 days. The conflict started after Trump tore into BuzzFeed News and CNN for publishing unsubstantiated reports that Russia had information on Trump they could use for blackmail. Acosta demanded to ask a question, given that Trump was "attacking" CNN from the stage.
Trump quickly silenced him: "Not you. Your organization is terrible," he said.
Acosta continued to fight for his chance to ask a question as Trump demanded "quiet, quiet." Getting nowhere, Trump finally snapped, "You are fake news." Watch the exchange below. Jeva Lange
