US President Donald Trump Criticizes Journalist Over Question on Epstein Survivors

In a public exchange, US President Donald Trump criticized a journalist for asking him about survivors of late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The incident occurred during a press conference.

The journalist in question asked Trump about his connection to Epstein and the allegations made by some of the financier’s victims. Trump responded by labeling the journalist as “the worst reporter”.

According to reports, Trump’s name appears in the recently released Epstein files, which contain information about the financier’s business dealings and associates. However, it is worth noting that Trump has not been accused of any crimes by Epstein’s victims and has denied any wrongdoing.

The journalist who asked Trump the question had sought clarification on his relationship with Epstein and whether he had taken any steps to address concerns raised by some of the financier’s alleged victims.
