In a recent incident, Donald Trump erupted in anger in the Oval Office for the second consecutive day when questioned about the Epstein files, even going as far as threatening to bar a journalist for bringing up the topic. This outburst followed a previous confrontation where he insulted a female reporter as “Quiet, piggy” on Air Force One.
The President’s agitation continued during a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, where he faced inquiries about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, with the UN attributing responsibility to the Saudi government for the heinous killing.
When pressed by the same reporter regarding the Epstein files and why he hasn’t released them without waiting for a congressional vote, Trump criticized the reporter’s approach, labeling them a “terrible person” and a “terrible reporter.” He distanced himself from Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting his past expulsion of Epstein from his club due to suspicions of inappropriate behavior, while pointing fingers at prominent Democrats for their alleged connections to Epstein.
