Completely and indefensibly bogus.
Aside from the modified video peddled by Huckabee, that motion by Jim Acosta seems completely innocent to me.
The motion, seems to me, was him, off-balance, trying to drop and retract his arm as he defended himself against her assault.
Ever witnessed the security at a grocery store confront someone they allege to be a shoplifter? They don't touch them.
I'm no lawyer. Though after drugged at the VA hospital I was for years convinced that I was one.
Something about false imprisonment. Restraining a person that is guilty of no crime is a good reason to file a lawsuit for criminal action.

YAHOO!
Trump’s False Narrative On Assault And Jim Acosta Is Convenient For Him And No One Else
Alanna Vagianos, HuffPost November 8, 2018
CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s press credentials were revoked by the White House on Wednesday because, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, he put his hands on a female White House intern when she attempted to take away his microphone during a news conference.
“President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his administration,” Sanders wrote in a series of tweets after the incident. “We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable.” (The controversy only heated up when Sanders shared a doctored video of the episode to defend the administration’s decision.)
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway piled onto the false allegation on Thursday in an interview on Fox News.
“Obviously, I don’t think anybody should have, any young woman, particularly, should have swiping away at them, grabbing the microphone back,” she said. “That’s very unfortunate. I have talked to that young woman. She is very brave and just doing her job.”
In reality, footage shows that the exchange between Acosta and the intern was mild and, despite the administration’s insinuation, he was not violent in any way. The intern attempted to take the microphone from him three times as President Donald Trump repeatedly cut the reporter off. During the intern’s final attempt, Acosta’s hand briefly brushed her arm, and he said, “Pardon me, ma’am.”
Acosta denied the accusation on Wednesday, saying on CNN, “I didn’t put my hands on her or touch her as they’re alleging. ... I think I handled myself professionally.” CNN stood by him, writing in a statement that Sanders “provided fraudulent accusations and cited an incident that never happened.”
Blatantly lying to the public and demonizing the press are just two of the many troubling aspects of how the White House is handling this issue. Another glaring element is the swift convenience with which Trump, Sanders and Conway wielded a white woman’s alleged victimhood in front of the entire country as a valid reason to punish a man.
Until Wednesday, Trump had not once attempted to find justice for a woman who allegedly experienced assault. In fact, for all the bizarre and unfathomable events of his presidency, he has been consistent in one area: He repeatedly discredits, smears and mocks survivors of sexual violence.
The president, accused by over 20 women of sexual misconduct, including assault and rape, has claimed that all his accusers were paid, suggesting that their actions were politically motivated and they simply wanted attention. In 2016, he went so far as saying that one of the women was lying about her assault accusation because she was not attractive enough to assault. In July he made fun of the Me Too movement, implying that women are too sensitive and cry assault. More recently, he undermined Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford by mocking her for not remembering every detail of her alleged assault. And that’s just the footnote version.
When Trump peddles false narratives about assault, he discredits every person who has ever experienced sexual violence. It’s beyond disturbing when a president who has customarily discredited sexual assault survivors is so quick to fabricate and use that very trauma for personal gain.

Grounds for Impeachment, No. I
From independent counsel Kenneth Starr's report to the House on President Clinton. Some of the language in these documents is sexually explicit.
I. There is substantial and credible information that President Clinton lied under oath as a defendant in Jones v. Clinton regarding his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
(1) He denied that he had a "sexual relationship" with Monica Lewinsky.
(2) He denied that he had a "sexual affair" with Monica Lewinsky.
(3) He denied that he had "sexual relations" with Monica Lewinsky.
(4) He denied that he engaged in or caused contact with the genitalia of "any person" with an intent to arouse or gratify (oral sex performed on him by Ms. Lewinsky).
(5) He denied that he made contact with Monica Lewinsky's breasts or genitalia with an intent to arouse or gratify.
(ix) Friday, February 28, 1997
Ms. Lewinsky testified that her next sexual encounter with the President occurred on Friday, February 28, 1997, in the early evening.(40) The President initiated this encounter by having his secretary Betty Currie call Ms. Lewinsky to invite her to the White House for a radio address. After the address, Ms. Lewinsky and the President kissed by the bathroom. The President unbuttoned her dress and fondled her breasts, first with her bra on and then directly. He touched her genitalia through her clothes, but not directly, on this occasion. Ms. Lewinsky performed oral sex on him.(41) On this day, Ms. Lewinsky was wearing a blue dress that forensic tests have conclusively shown was stained with the President's semen.

JUPITER'S MOON CALLISTO MAY HIDE SALTY OCEAN
Jupiter's second largest moon, Callisto, may have a liquid ocean tucked under its icy, cratered crust, according to scientists studying data gathered by NASA's Galileo spacecraft.
The Galileo findings, to be published in the Oct. 22 issue of the journal Nature, reveal similarities between Callisto and another of Jupiter's moons, Europa, which has already displayed strong evidence of a subsurface ocean.
"Until now, we thought Callisto was a dead and boring moon, just a hunk of rock and ice," said Dr. Margaret Kivelson, space physics professor at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and principal investigator for Galileo's magnetometer instrument, which measures magnetic fields around Jupiter and its moons. "The new data certainly suggest that something is hidden below Callisto's surface, and that something may very well be a salty ocean."
