Lara Trump denied her father-in-law called a female reporter "piggy," amid disputed claims and debate over released documents.

Lara Trump disputed claims that President Donald Trump called a female reporter "piggy" during a November 14 Air Force One press briefing, despite comedian Bill Maher asserting he saw video evidence. The incident occurred amid debate over the release of documents tied to a deceased child trafficker, which Trump initially resisted but later endorsed through legislation requiring their disclosure within 30 days. While a limited number of files have been made public, no allegations of wrongdoing against Trump have been substantiated. The exchange highlighted tensions over political rhetoric, media treatment, and accountability, with Maher criticizing the use of demeaning language, especially toward women, while Lara Trump defended her father-in-law’s conduct and emphasized his strengths. No official video or transcript has been released to confirm the exact wording.
