Former President Donald Trump insulted a reporter, calling her \u201cpiggy,\u201d during a flight on Air Force One. The incident occurred on Friday, November 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reporter, Catherine Lucey from Bloomberg, asked Trump a question about newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails. She specifically asked if anything in them was \u201cincriminating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump became visibly agitated by the line of questioning. He responded by pointing at her and saying, \u201cQuiet. Quiet, piggy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further criticized her, stating, \u201cYou are the worst!\u201d and questioning why Bloomberg employed her. The exchange drew immediate criticism online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A representative for Bloomberg News defended their journalist. They stated that their reporters perform a vital public service by asking questions without fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response, a White House official defended Trump\u2019s comments. They claimed the reporter had behaved unprofessionally towards her colleagues, but provided no specific details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump has consistently denied any prior knowledge of Epstein\u2019s crimes. The White House has dismissed the email leaks as a politically motivated \u201choax\u201d intended to smear him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
