The White House said Wednesday night that it's suspending the press pass of CNN's Jim Acosta "until further notice," reported Cable News Network (CNN)

Terming the move a stunning break with protocol, the CNN report said that the move came just hours after Acosta, CNN's chief White House correspondent, drew the ire of President Donald Trump and his allies by asking multiple questions at a post-midterms news conference.

Trump insulted Acosta and called him a "terrible" person.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced in a statement that Acosta would be stripped of what's known as a "hard pass," which gives him access to the White House grounds, the CNN report added.
