'You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter': Watch Trump eviscerate ABC News White House correspondent * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs
President Donald Trump calls Mary Bruce of ABC News a ‘terrible person’ in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025
It’s not always easy being a journalist in the Oval Office.
Just ask Mary Bruce, the White House correspondent for ABC News, who was verbally shredded by President Donald Trump on Tuesday when she asked him why he himself just didn’t release the Jeffrey Epstein files without Congress getting involved.
“It’s not the question that I mind, it’s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It’s the way you ask these questions,” Trump told Bruce.
“You start off with a man who’s highly respected, asking him a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. And you could even ask that same exact question nicely. You’re all psyched up. Somebody psyched you over at ABC. You’re going to psych it. You’re a terrible person and a terrible reporter.”

Trump stressed he had nothing to do with Epstein since he booted the pedophile from his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, in the early 2000s. But he did reiterate the alleged involvement of former President Bill Clinton and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers with Epstein.
“As far as the Epstein files is, I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump continued. “I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert. But I guess I turned out to be right.

“But you know who does have? Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, who ran Harvard, was with him every single night, every single weekend. They lived together. They went to his island many times. I never did … You just keep going on the Epstein files.”
“And what the Epstein is, is a Democrat hoax to try and get me not to be able to talk about the 21 trillion dollars that I talked about today. It’s a hoax,” Trump said.
“And ABC is your company. Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong.”
After Trump’s smackdown of Bruce, the House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bill ordering the release of the Justice Department’s files on Epstein.
It passed by a margin of 427 to 1, with U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., the only vote against the measure.
