{ "title": "Trump Clashes with White House Reporter Over Khashoggi Question, Threatens ABC's License", "article": "In a tense Oval Office exchange, US President Donald Trump berated White House correspondent Mary Bruce for asking Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump labelled the question 'terrible' and called Bruce 'horrible.' He also attacked ABC, where Bruce works, calling it a 'crappy company' and threatening to revoke its broadcasting license. The incident occurred during a meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince, who has been accused of ordering Khashoggi's killing. Trump's response to Bruce's question sparked outrage, with many criticizing his handling of the situation. For context, Khashoggi was a US-based journalist who was critical of Saudi Arabia's government. He was murdered in 2018 while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. His death sparked international condemnation and conflicting narratives about how he died. Trump's clash with Bruce was not limited to the Khashoggi question. He also lashed out at her for asking about the Epstein files, calling her a 'terrible reporter' with a 'terrible attitude.' This incident is the latest in a series of controversies surrounding Trump's treatment of reporters, including his recent 'piggy' comment towards Bloomberg News reporter Catherine Lucey aboard Air Force One.
