In a repeat display of anger, Donald Trump erupted in the Oval Office when questioned about the Epstein files, even threatening to bar a journalist for bringing up the topic. This outburst followed his recent confrontation with a female reporter on Air Force One, where he insulted her as “Quiet, piggy.”
The latest incident occurred during a welcome ceremony for Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, where Trump faced inquiries about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The United Nations has officially attributed the brutal killing to the Saudi government.
When pressed about releasing the Epstein files without waiting for Congress, Trump criticized the reporter’s approach, labeling her a “terrible reporter.” He distanced himself from Jeffrey Epstein, emphasizing his past expulsion of Epstein from his club due to concerns about his behavior. Trump then diverted attention to prominent Democrats, alleging their close ties to Epstein and dismissing the focus on the files as a political distraction.
