President Donald Trump sharply interrupted a female reporter aboard Air Force One after she asked about emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein, responding, “Quiet, quiet, piggy,” while wagging his finger in her direction.
The exchange occurred during a gaggle on Nov. 14, shortly after the House Oversight Committee released a tranche of Epstein-related documents.
The reporter, identified by several outlets as Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey, questioned Trump on whether the released emails contained anything incriminating.
In response, Trump denied knowledge of wrongdoing, stating, “I know nothing about that. They would have announced that a long time ago.” He also claimed to have had a “very bad relationship” with Epstein.
The comment sparked backlash from media and observers, with many calling it demeaning and sexist. Critics said the insult was part of a broader pattern of Trump attacking journalists — especially women.
This incident adds to rising tensions between Trump and the press as pressure mounts to fully release Epstein-related documents
