Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday denounced ABC News correspondent Mary Bruce as a “terrible reporter” and suggested revoking the network’s broadcast license after she posed pointed questions to him and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office.
Bruce asked Trump about the appropriateness of his family’s business dealings in Saudi Arabia while he was president and questioned the Saudi leader regarding the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. U.S. intelligence has concluded that the crown prince likely played a role in the killing. Trump dismissed the findings, claiming “a lot of people didn’t like” Khashoggi, while the prince called the journalist’s death “a huge mistake.”
Trump repeatedly criticized Bruce’s tone, calling her questions “horrible, insubordinate and just a terrible question.” He also addressed her inquiry about the White House’s delay in releasing correspondence related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“People are wise to your hoax,” Trump said, adding that ABC News broadcasts “97% negative” coverage of him and questioning the credibility of the network and its reporter. He cited FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, suggesting that the commission should consider revoking ABC’s license.
ABC News declined to comment on Trump’s remarks. Bloomberg News also responded to Trump’s earlier criticism of its reporter, Catherine Lucey, affirming the importance of journalists performing their duties without fear or favor.
