CNN reporter Jim Acosta was caught tweeting at dinner on Tuesday night.
Acosta was eating dinner at Jean Georges in New York City, when he spotted former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Reince Priebus and President-elect Donald Trump having a private dinner there as well.
Acosta started live-tweeting that he saw the three of them, what they were eating at dinner and how they were acting.

“Moments ago…Trump: Hello Jim. #busted,” Acosta tweeted.

Trump, Romney and Priebus have moved onto dessert. Romney laughing as Trump talks and gestures. No sign of any animosity from campaign.

Anderson Cooper then asked Acosta how he was able to get inside the restaurant. Acosta said he made a reservation after getting a tip beforehand.
