Overview
- During a Nov. 14 press gaggle on Air Force One, the president told a Bloomberg journalist, "Quiet. Quiet, Piggy," after she asked if the emails contained anything incriminating.
- Days earlier, House Oversight Democrats released three emails from Jeffrey Epstein's estate that referenced the president in exchanges with Ghislaine Maxwell and biographer Michael Wolff.
- Trump dismissed the material, saying he knows nothing about it and asserting he had "a very bad relationship" with Epstein for many years.
- Two days after the Air Force One exchange, he again confronted the same reporter during questions about Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, saying, "You are the worst" and challenging her outlet.
- A photo later circulated showing a South Lawn flag appearing to droop near the ground, and a White House spokesman said the flag never touched the ground and was lowered into a container because of high winds.
