So @realDonaldTrump says “I haven’t made that decision [to restore @Acosta press credentials] but it could be others also.”
Just pointing out that @PressSec has refused to issue me similar permanent credentials for roughly 18 months & has told other reporters I’m not legitimate.

I cover the White House daily, but I operate on a temporary pass each day because @PressSec & her staff want to be able to mark me as something other than a “real” reporter. What’s more, they often ignore my emails & attempts to engage with them to the point where I can’t do...
...my job because I can’t get answers to the most basic questions for days or weeks at a time from people authorized to speak on behalf of the President.
It goes deeper, though. Sarah Sanders took over as @PressSec last July. She has refused to meet w/ me even once since then.

Let me repeat that: I am a reporter who is at the White House almost daily but have not been able to get so much as 5 MINUTES with the White House Press Secretary in the more than a year she has been in that job. Her assistant promises to let me know when @PressSec has time...
...but that never seems to happen even as I see folks from @nytimes @washingtonpost @politico and so forth show up at her office with appointments on a regular basis. Meanwhile, Sarah and her staff have told colleagues of mine how I’m not a credible reporter or how I don’t have..
...a job (I am and I do, albeit a not very glamorous/lucrative one) and implied that I’m only at the White House looking to hobnob or achieve some kind of viral fame (I’m not and why would I want to get answers to policy questions if I was?)
