In a repeated display of anger, Donald Trump erupted in the Oval Office for the second consecutive day when questioned about the Epstein files, even going as far as threatening to bar a reporter for raising the issue. This outburst followed his previous outburst towards a female journalist on Air Force One just a day before.
During a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, Trump faced scrutiny after an ABC News reporter brought up the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a case the UN has linked to the Saudi government. When the same reporter inquired about the Epstein files, Trump became visibly agitated.
Responding to the reporter’s question about releasing the files, Trump criticized the reporter’s demeanor, calling them a “terrible reporter” and accusing them of focusing on a Democrat-driven hoax. He distanced himself from Jeffrey Epstein, mentioning his past actions against Epstein and pointing fingers at notable figures who had associations with Epstein.
Trump also suggested that ABC News should have its license revoked due to what he perceived as biased reporting against him. He further criticized the network for its lack of credibility and accused it of spreading fake news.
