Trump snaps at female reporter in furious outburst: “Be quiet, piggy”
Trump dismissed the inquiry, saying he knew nothing about the messages and insisting the focus should be on others named in the files — including former President Bill Clinton.
The brief exchange was caught on camera and quickly went viral, sparking outrage online. The footage shows Trump leaning in, pointing his finger, and delivering the remark in a sharp, unusual tone.
The reporter had begun asking: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not…” before Trump cut her off.

Trump’s remark comes amid growing calls for the Justice Department to release all records related to Epstein. Over the weekend, he reversed his position, urging Republicans to back a bill demanding the release of the files.
