Donald Trump appeared visibly irritated when questioned again about the newly released Epstein emails, leading to a tense exchange with a Bloomberg reporter. The president has clashed frequently in recent weeks with both journalists and political figures, including Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, as pressure grows for full disclosure of the Epstein files.

The incident happened on November 14 as Trump boarded Air Force One for his trip to Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Reporters pressed him about the documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted pedophile. When a female reporter asked if the latest email release contained anything incriminating, Trump pointed at her and replied, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy,” a remark that drew immediate attention.

The sharp comment came shortly after House Democrats released three new pieces of correspondence involving Epstein. One email included an exchange between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking minors. In the messages, Epstein referenced Trump and suggested the former president had never been named by victims, while also making claims about conversations involving author Michael Wolff. Another email appeared to mention long-standing rumors that Epstein and Maxwell used Mar-a-Lago to target young women — claims Trump has firmly denied.

Speaking to the press days later, Trump said he knew nothing about the emails and repeated that his relationship with Epstein had soured many years ago. His comment to the reporter, however, added to a long history of remarks critics view as demeaning toward women, including past comments about political opponents, entertainers, and public figures.

The exchange underscored the growing tension surrounding the release of the Epstein files and the scrutiny facing the president as new details continue to emerge.
