President Donald Trump lashed out at ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott after she asked a question about his relationship with accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
During a White House event on Thursday, Scott noted that the family of Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, had expressed outrage after the president said that the sex offender “stole” women from him.
“You said that Jeffrey Epstein stole people from Mar-a-Lago,” the reporter remarked. “At the time, did you know why he was taking those young women, including Virginia?”
“No, I didn’t know,” Trump insisted. “I mean, I would figure it was ABC ‘fake’ News that would ask that question, one of the worst. But no, I don’t know really why.”
“But I said if he’s taking anybody from Mar-A-Lago, he’s hiring or whatever he’s doing, I didn’t like it,” he added. “And we threw him out. We said we don’t want him at the place.”
