'Quiet, Piggy': Trump Insults Female Reporter Asking About The Epstein Files
HuffPost
The reaction from the White House press corps to a personal attack on a colleague has been muted — in an apparent attempt to avoid losing further access.
President Donald Trump verbally abused a female reporter who asked him about the Epstein files aboard Air Force One en route to his latest golf vacation, calling her “piggy” and trying to silence her.
“Quiet. Quiet, piggy,” Trump told veteran White House reporter Catherine Lucey, now with Bloomberg, after she asked about the possibility that the Department of Justice’s investigative files on the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein might incriminate him.
Video of Friday evening’s incident shows Trump wagging his finger at Lucey, who is standing just off-screen.
Lucey declined to comment, as did the White House Correspondents’ Association.
The pool reports from that flight failed to mention Trump’s comment, and it received little attention until Tuesday.
