Sarah Sanders and Jim Acosta Battle Over the Border Wall: ‘I’m Not Negotiating with You’

Sarah Sanders and Jim Acosta Battle Over the Border Wall: ‘I’m Not Negotiating With You’ (Mediaite)

For the most part, today’s White House press briefing was a fairly low-key and genial affair, as White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders noted that it would be a relatively short briefing and spread around the questions to some reporters who rarely get called on. With the briefing taking place shortly after Trump’s immigration meeting that the press was allowed to cover, much of the discussion revolved around the bipartisan negotiation.

At the end of the briefing, however, things got a bit testy when CNN’s Jim Acosta pressed Sanders on Trump’s promised Mexican border wall, asking if he wants that in exchange for DACA protection.

“The president wants border security,” Sanders responded.
