Jim Acosta: "We're friends of the American people."

Acosta, on CNN right now, says it seemed like Trump was "depressed" at the presser and the whole thing seemed like a "pity party."

Jim Acosta accuses Trump of attacking "people of color" at his press conference.

At her post-election presser, Pelosi again expressed optimism about future bipartisan efforts with Trump, but she DID also accuse him of "fear mongering."

CNN's Jake Tapper sounding off on Trump's threatening Congress: if you investigate me, we won't collaborate on deals.
