Sanders tweeted a doctored video to support her accusation that Acosta was aggressive toward a White House aide.


While the edited video makes it look like Acosta swiftly chopped down on the arm of the aide, the original video shows Acosta's arm move only as a response to the aide grabbing for the microphone. In the original video, Acosta says, "Pardon me, ma'am," when she grabs for the mic. Acosta's statement is not included in the video Sanders shared. The White House Correspondents' Association called the White House's reaction "out of line to the purported offense" and urged that Acosta's press pass be restored. Trump called Acosta a "a rude, terrible person." The video was posted by the editor-at-large for fake news site Infowars. ( Washington Post / NBC News / HuffPost)



An independent expert says the video distributed by Sarah Huckabee Sanders to support its argument for revoking Jim Acosta's press pass was doctored.



The video was doctored to make Acosta look more aggressive than he actually was during an exchange with a White House intern. ( Associated Press)
