CNN Anchor Demands His Own Payout From Trump’s Slush Fund

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta has demanded that he be eligible to apply for President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” compensation scheme.

Writing on his Substack, the network’s former chief White House correspondent suggested that he has a “pretty good case” after frequently coming under attack from Trump during his first term.

In a satirical letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche, Acosta noted how the first Trump administration actively took steps to “destroy my career,” and therefore he should be able to get “some cold, hard ‘slush fund cash.’”
