Jim Acosta's abrupt exit from CNN is leaving staffers shocked as the anti-Trump anchor plans to go independent after turning down an offer by his boss to host midnights.

CNN anchor Jim Acosta, an irritant to President Donald Trump as a former White House correspondent, says he's quitting the network rather than accept an offer for a new late-night time slot.

CNN's anti-Trump anchor Jim Acosta is reportedly leaving the network after he was officially pulled from its forthcoming programming schedule and was offered to take the midnight slot.

CNN officials may be considering shuttling journalist Jim Acosta to the night shift, and many think it's because of his feud with President-elect Donald Trump.

Jim Acosta announced his new venture Tuesday — hours after signing off as a CNN anchor with an anti-Trump rant.

Sources tell Fox News Digital that CNN star Jim Acosta is "getting hosed" as network boss Mark Thompson urged the anti-Trump anchor to take the midnight slot.
