US media reports reveal that last week, Trump clashed with Bloomberg News White House correspondent, becoming visibly upset when questioned about the Epstein case. He insultingly referred to her as "piggy." During a meeting with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, on Tuesday (Nov. 18), Trump also berated an ABC reporter, claiming he would revoke ABC's broadcasting license.
According to foreign media, the incident involving a Bloomberg correspondent occurred aboard Air Force One last Friday (Nov. 14). At that time, Trump had not yet agreed to support the public release of documents related to the Epstein case. When the female reporter asked why he would react that way if the documents contained nothing harmful to him, Trump pointed at her and bluntly said, "Quiet, quiet, piggy." This incident sparked outrage among journalists, with CNN host Tapper calling Trump's behavior unacceptable and former Fox News anchor Carlson criticizing his remarks as dehumanizing.
On Tuesday, during the meeting with Mohammed, Trump was questioned by ABC's White House correspondent about the Epstein case. He insisted he had no relationship with Epstein and claimed that ABC consistently reports fake news, labeling the reporter as one of the worst reporters covering the White House. When the reporter pressed him again about why the Epstein documents had not been released, Trump criticized his attitude, saying, "You're a terrible reporter; the problem lies in how you ask questions." When the reporter attempted to follow up, Trump interrupted him, praising the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) whom he appointed and suggested that they should consider revoking ABC's White House access.
