President Donald Trump fired back at ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce on Tuesday over a question about Jeffrey
President Donald Trump fired back at ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce on Tuesday over a question about Jeffrey Epstein as he floated whether the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) should revoke her network’s license.
During an Oval Office meeting with the Saudi crown prince, Bruce asked why Trump has not decided to simply direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release the files as he has the power to do, leading Trump to criticize her tone and questioned whether the FCC should revoke ABC News’ broadcasting license. The question came as the House of Representatives planned to vote on whether to release the Epstein files on Tuesday.
“It’s not the question that I mind, it’s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It’s the way you ask these questions,” Trump said. “You start off with a man who’s highly respected, asking him a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. And you could even ask that same exact question nicely. You’re all psyched up. Somebody psyched you over at ABC. You’re going to psych it. You’re a terrible person and a terrible reporter.”

Trump further said that he has had no involvement with Epstein since he threw him out of Mar-a-Lago in the early 2000s.
