Karoline Leavitt Slammed After Claiming Trump Was Actually Being 'Respectful' By Calling Reporter 'Piggy'

Last weekend, Trump lashed out at Bloomberg News reporter Catherine Lucey for trying to ask him a question about the Epstein files on Air Force One.

Lucey asked why he's pushed back against releasing the files "if there's nothing incriminating" in them. Her question came after Speaker Mike Johnson swore in Arizona Democratic Representative Adelita Grijalva, which made her the 218th signatory on the bipartisan discharge petition to compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
