Donald Trump appeared visibly irritated on November 14 when reporters questioned him about newly released emails linked to Jeffrey Epstein as he boarded Air Force One. When a Bloomberg reporter asked if the documents contained anything incriminating, Trump sharply responded, pointing at her and saying, “Quiet. Quiet, pigy.” Critics noted that the remark “adds to a long history of similar comments directed at women by the former president.”
The exchange followed House Democrats’ release of three new pieces of correspondence involving Epstein. One email included a conversation between Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. In it, Epstein referenced Trump, suggesting the former president “had never been named by victims,” reigniting rumors that Epstein and Maxwell may have used Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property to target young women.
Trump denied the claims, saying his relationship with Epstein ended years ago and asserting he knew nothing about the newly released emails.
The incident underscores increasing political tension as the Epstein case continues to draw media attention. It also highlights the scrutiny Trump faces over past associations and the handling of controversial communications.
As the release of these documents continues, public and political reactions are likely to intensify, keeping Trump under the spotlight while raising questions about his past connections with Epstein and Maxwell.
This confrontation is part of a broader pattern of contentious exchanges between Trump and the media, especially surrounding sensitive topics related to the Epstein scandal.
