CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta was yelled at by a staffer for shouting out questions about President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and the allegations of collusion during a photo op with the president and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on Monday afternoon.

Acosta was shouting, “Mr. President, if there was no collusion, why does Rudy Giuliani consider there to be no crime in collusion?” over many other voices in the room.
“Make your way out. Let’s go. Move, Jim, let’s go. Keep going, Jim. Let’s go. Jim, we’re leaving. Come on, Jim. Go. We’re done,” the aide screamed.
Acosta’s questions were made in regard to the statements Giuliani made earlier in the day while he was appearing on Fox News.
“I’ve been sitting here, looking in the federal code, trying to find collusion as a crime. Collusion is not a crime. Everything that’s been released so far shows the president absolutely innocent. He didn’t do anything wrong,” Giuliani stated. (RELATED: Watch: Rudy Giuliani Claims That ‘Collusion Is Not A Crime’)
