CNN anchor Jim Acosta announced on Tuesday that he is leaving the embattled network.
Acosta, the former White House correspondent who often feuded with President Trump during his first term, was slated to be relegated to graveyard shift from his current morning slot.
“I just wanted to end today’s show by thanking all of the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at this network,” Acosta said at the end of his 10 a.m. show.
“You may have seen some reports about me and this show. And after giving all of this some careful consideration and weighing an alternative time-slot CNN offered me, I have decided to move on.”
Acosta will be replaced in the mornings by Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown as part of a massive shakeup by CNN boss Mark Thompson.
