Trump unleashes on reporter after she calls
President Trump clashed with ABC News reporter Rachel Scott after she asked about a past promise he made.
Days earlier, he had said he would have “no problem” releasing a video of a military strike off Venezuela.
When Scott followed up, Trump denied it, saying, “I didn’t say that,”
and dismissed the issue as “ABC fake news,” even though a transcript confirmed his earlier claim.
He then shifted responsibility to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and defended the strikes,
asserting without evidence that they stopped “94 percent”
of drug shipments and that each destroyed boat saved “25,000 American lives.”
As Scott continued pressing, Trump attacked her personally, calling her “the most obnoxious reporter… a terrible reporter.”
It echoed another recent outburst at a journalist.
Public reactions were divided, with some saying Scott was simply doing her job and others criticizing Trump’s behavior.
