President Trump lit up ABC after a tense exchange in the Oval Office. When ABC’s Mary Bruce pressed him on why he hasn’t simply ordered the DOJ to release the Jeffrey Epstein files—rather than waiting on Congress—he blasted her question and her “attitude,” calling her a “terrible reporter.” Bruce raised the issue while Trump met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Her question came the same day the House voted 427–1 to require the administration to release the files, with the Senate unanimously backing the measure shortly after. Trump didn’t give a direct answer on why he hasn’t ordered the release himself. Instead, he repeated that he has “nothing to do with” Epstein and tossed in the familiar line that he kicked Epstein out of his club “many years ago” for being a “sick pervert.” He also again labeled the broader Epstein scandal a “hoax,” accusing ABC of being part of it. From there, he went full blast: Trump said ABC’s “fake” reporting is so bad the network should lose its broadcasting license, and even suggested FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr should take a look. Carr previously threatened ABC’s license over remarks made on Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
