President Donald Trump told a female reporter to be \u201cquiet, piggy\u201d after she asked him about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the Daily Mail reported. <\/a><\/p>\n

The exchange happened during a press conference aboard Air Force One on Friday. <\/p>\n

Catherine Lucey, a reporter for Bloomberg, appeared to ask Trump a question about Epstein when the president began to wave a finger in Lucey\u2019s face. <\/p>\n

Trump snapped: \u201cQuiet, quiet piggy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump had another run-in with Lucey on Sunday, when the Bloomberg scribe asked him about Tucker Carlson\u2019s interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. <\/p>\n

Trump has been speaking with reporters outside Air Force One when Lucey interjected with a question. <\/p>\n

Trump said: \u201cWill you let me finish my statement?\u201d<\/p>\n

The president went on: \u201cYou are the worst. You are with Bloomberg, right? You are the worst. I don\u2019t know why they even have you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has come under increasing pressure from his MAGA base to release all government files related to Epstein, the child sex offender who died by suicide in jail in 2019. <\/p>\n

The White House for months has resisted bipartisan efforts in Congress to release the files. Trump has called the Epstein issue a Democratic hoax. <\/p>\n

Trump has slammed his fellow Republicans by saying that \u201conly a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MAGA civil war over Epstein exploded into public view over the weekend, when Trump called MAGA firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia a \u201ctraitor\u201d for voting for the administration to release the files.<\/p>\n

But with Democrats and some Republicans teeing up a vote to release the information, Trump changed course and told House Republicans to agree to release the files. <\/p>\n

The president said that \u201cwe have nothing to hide\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax.\u201d<\/p>\n
