Journalists Nearly Come to Blows Over Epstein Investigation...

Independent political commentatorsMichael TraceyandJim Acostaalmost came to blows on Saturday after, according to Tracey, the ex-CNN host “threatened to fight” him at the Substack party for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

After first making note of Acosta’s threat, Tracey went on to provide more context in a pair of tweets that read:

Jim screamed at me, “LET’S STEP OUTSIDE” and I replied “OK JIM LET’S GO.” Then he had the security do his dirty work instead. Pussy.@Acosta

And yes he ultimately wanted to fight me over Epstein shit, I would’ve fought him if security didn’t intervene
