Earlier today at the White House, President Donald Trump and Pentagon officials gathered for a photo op and the signing of the National Defense Authorization Bill:

And after the bill signing, the president ignored a shouted question from CNN’s Jim Acosta:
President Trump ignores question from @Acosta on what the president meant when he tweeted that Sen. Gillibrand would do anything for a campaign contribution.

Well, it looks like before the photo op, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a warning to Acosta on asking questions, which he apparently ignored:
Prior to this morment, @presssec issued a warning to me. She said if I asked a question of Trump at the bill signing "I can't promise you will be allowed into a pool spray again." Sorry Sarah.. we won't be intimidated. https://t.co/RZgJpXpyEg

Over to you, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Is Acosta banned?
Update. The Daily Mail’s David Martosko, who was banned by team Hillary, adds:
