Trump criticizes female reporters, calling them ‘piggy’ and ‘terrible’

WASHINGTON, Nov 19 — Donald Trump lashed out at female reporters this week, calling Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey “piggy” over questions on Jeffrey Epstein and criticizing ABC News’s Mary Bruce as a “terrible reporter” during a White House session with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

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
