In a recent incident, Donald Trump became agitated in the Oval Office for the second consecutive day when questioned about the Epstein files. He even threatened to bar a reporter for bringing up the topic. This outburst followed his previous confrontation with a female reporter on Air Force One, where he rudely addressed her as “Quiet, piggy.”
The situation escalated further when Trump hosted a welcoming event for Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. During this event, Trump faced inquiries regarding the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by a reporter from ABC News. The United Nations had officially attributed the brutal murder and dismemberment to the Saudi state.
When the same ABC News reporter posed another question about the Epstein files, Trump reacted strongly. He criticized the reporter’s approach, calling them a “terrible reporter” and expressing his disdain for the line of questioning. Trump distanced himself from Jeffrey Epstein, citing that he had expelled Epstein from his club years ago due to his disturbing behavior. Trump also pointed fingers at prominent figures like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers for their alleged associations with Epstein.
