The Republican was on his way to his luxury residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, when he lashed out at the reporter, who asked about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
In the correspondence released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, Epstein claimed that Donald Trump “knew about the girls” in a 2019 email.
The U.S. president denied knowing about Epstein’s misconduct. “I don’t know anything about it. They would have announced it a long time ago,” he snapped.
“What did he mean when he spent all that time with Bill Clinton, with the president of Harvard… and all the other people he spent time with?” the journalist asked.

“Jeffrey Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. But he also saw power because I was president. So he dictated some emails to himself,” Trump continued.
The reporter then asked Donald Trump if there was anything incriminating in Epstein’s emails. He pointed his finger at her and said, “Quiet! Quiet, Piggy!”
On X, formerly Twitter, many criticized the president’s behavior. “Grandpa is nervous,” one mocked. Others urged him to release the files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
