White House attacks CNN reporter for question on Trump’s aide
Reporter Kristen Holmes asked the US president to respond to comments by a Democratic lawmaker about his executive assistant, Natalie Harp.
President Donald Trump faced criticism from Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff for allegedly focusing on his ballroom project and personal trips with aide Natalie Harp over presidential duties. During an Oval Office event, reporter Kristen Holmes questioned Trump about Harp, leading to a heated exchange where Trump called her "fake news" and "respectless."
The White House responded by condemning Holmes for her "very disrespectful" question and labeling her and CNN as "scumbags." CNN strongly defended Holmes, stating that such attacks were "beneath the office."
