On August 18, the White House strongly criticized CNN reporter Kristen Holmes after she questioned President Donald Trump about the relationship between Trump and his aide, Natalie Harp. This incident occurred during an event in the Oval Office, where Holmes asked Trump to address comments made by a Democratic lawmaker regarding Trump's executive assistant, Harp.
The White House's rapid response team then took to X, now known as Twitter, to respond to Holmes, calling her question "disgusting and inhumane." The White House went on to berate Holmes as "very disrespectful" when she asked another question about North Korea. This exchange took place during an event meant to honor a teenage lifeguard who saved a child from the waves.
However, Trump frequently shifted the focus to unrelated issues, including his personal attacks on Holmes. CNN strongly condemned the attacks on Holmes, stating that they were "beneath the office" and rejecting any such behavior. The incident has sparked further discussion about the treatment of female journalists in the White House.
