Trump interrupted Bruce’s questions on possible conflicts of interest with the Saudis and the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, dismissing her network as “ABC fake news” and threatening its broadcast license. He also rebuffed inquiries about Epstein, calling the scandal a “hoax” and telling Bruce, “No more questions from you.” — AFP
