Overview
- During an 'Antifa roundtable' in the State Dining Room, President Trump refused a question from CNN’s Kristen Holmes and called her 'one of the worst reporters that you’ll ever see.'
- Holmes had attempted to ask whether the president was personally participating in a potential ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
- Trump said he may travel to the Middle East 'sometime before the end of the week' to try to facilitate a ceasefire deal.
- He said 'our final negotiation... is with Hamas' and characterized the talks as progressing, without offering specifics.
- Coverage noted the event’s Antifa framing and highlighted prior reporting that Trump’s claims about Antifa’s role in unrest have been overstated or fabricated.
