Donald Trump refused to answer a question from a CNN reporter during his press conference at Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday, as retribution for the CNN story that said he and Barack Obama had been presented with claims that Russia had compromising financial and personal information about the president-elect.
"Not you. Your organization is terrible," said Trump, when CNN's senior White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, tried to ask a question.
"Since you're attacking us, can you give us a question? Mr President-elect, since you're attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance?" asked Acosta.
"I'm not going to give you a question. You are fake news," said the president-elect.
