Trump attacked ABC reporter over Saudi ties and Khashoggi probe, calling her a "terrible reporter" and threatening her network.

Trump erupted in anger during a White House briefing with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after ABC News reporter Mary Bruce questioned him about his family’s business ties to Saudi Arabia and the U.S. intelligence assessment linking the prince to the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump labeled Bruce a “terrible reporter,” accused ABC News of being “fake news,” and threatened to revoke its broadcast license—a claim without legal basis. He also criticized her tone and questioned the timing of her inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, which Congress had recently voted to release. The exchange drew widespread condemnation from media watchdogs and journalists, who denounced the president’s aggressive rhetoric and attacks on press freedom. No action was taken against ABC News.
