Acosta, whose previous title was senior White House correspondent, has covered the Obama and Trump administrations for CNN since 2013.

"CNN has announced a number of new assignments for its White House and Washington-based correspondents, timed to the start of President Trump’s second year in office," the announcement from CNN's public relations department reads.

"Pamela Brown will move from the Justice Department to the White House beat, joining Jeff Zeleny as CNN senior White House correspondents. Abby Phillip and Boris Sanchez will continue as White House correspondents alongside White House reporter Kaitlan Collins," it continues.
