Donald Trump Tells Reporter ‘Quiet, Piggy’ When Asked About Epstein Files
President Donald Trump told a reporter "quiet, piggy" during an exchange with media on Air Force One on Friday about the Epstein files.
In video footage of a gaggle with the press on November 14 released by the White House, Trump says, "Quiet, quiet piggy," as a female reporter, stood off camera, begins to ask a question about the files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The president then appears to wave a finger in her face.
The reporter was from Bloomberg, CBS News' Jennifer Jacobs later wrote on X.
Why It Matters
The exchange adds to ongoing scrutiny of how Trump responds to questions about the Epstein files, which lawmakers and transparency advocates are pressuring the White House to release. His comment has also drawn renewed attention to his treatment of journalists, an issue that has repeatedly surfaced during his interactions with the press.
