Donald Trump became furious with reporter Mary Bruce when she asked why he had waited for the congressional vote and not already released the so-called "Epstein documents." According to him, the reporter's attitude was terrible.
"You are a terrible reporter and a terrible person," Trump said, suggesting that the chairman of the US Communications Authority, Brandon Carr, should consider revoking ABC's broadcasting license.
I think the license should be revoked for ABC because your news is so fake and it's so wrong.
Bruce had previously raised questions about Mohammed bin Salman's involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump dismissed the question, calling the regime critic and Washington Post columnist an "extremely controversial" person who "many people didn't like."
Things happen and he (bin Salman) knew nothing about it, said Trump, who meant that Bruce should not "embarrass our guest."
On the contrary, American intelligence has determined that bin Salman was likely the one who ultimately ordered the murder of Khashoggi, who disappeared during a visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
bin Salman, in turn, described the murder as “painful” and a “big mistake.”
"We are doing our best to ensure this does not happen again," he said.
