Trump snaps at reporter over Epstein question

On Friday, aboard Air Force One, the president was asked about his name appearing in numerous Epstein emails and correspondence released by the House Oversight Committee, and how Epstein said Trump "knew about the girls." Trump tried to deflect the question by saying reporters should look at how much time Larry Summers and Bill Clinton spent with Epstein.

When a reporter asked him, “If there’s nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not—,” Trump shut her down.

“Quiet! Quiet piggy!” Trump said to the Bloomberg reporter.

Trump is known for insulting journalists, often calling them "fake news," but the Epstein revelations seem to have brought him back to square one. After months of slandering the government's Epstein files and attempting to delay or block their release, Trump now faces the challenge of getting Congress to vote in favor of their release.

If Epstein remains in the news for much longer, Trump may resort to even more childish behavior. But even then, this isn't much of a departure from his usual nature. One thing is certain: there must be something damning in the files to provoke such a reaction.
