President Donald Trump Tells Female Reporter 'Quiet, Piggy'

There's growing controversy today over the president's treatment of a reporter aboard Air Force One.

Quiet, quiet, Piggy.

Yep, he really did call a female reporter Piggy. She was peppering him with uncomfortable questions about the Epstein files.

What did Jeffrey Epstein mean in his emails when he said you knew about the girls?

Trump answered her first question.

I know nothing about them.

Jeffrey Epstein and I had a pretty bad relationship for many years. her first question.

But when she tried to ask a follow-up, he lashed out. This photograph of the moment shows just how angry the president is, thrusting his finger right in the reporter's face. She's Catherine Lucey from Bloomberg News. The president is clearly not happy with all the attention the Epstein scandal is getting.

He lashed out again today at another reporter for asking about Epstein.

Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

I think you are a terrible reporter. You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. What the Epstein is is a Democrat hoax. Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. And I'll tell you something, I'll tell you something. I think the license should be taken away from ABC.

I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment.

Trump faced more criticism today from a gathering of Epstein survivors on the steps of the Capitol.

This is not a hoax and we will not be erased.

Sharon Waxman, the founder and editor-in-chief of the influential showbiz website The Wrap, is comparing Epstein's seedy world to the secret society from the movie Eyes Wide Shut,

where the rich gathered to indulge their sexual fantasies. The idea that these girls were handed around to powerful people is very much what Eyes Wide Shut was depicting.

Do you think we will actually get the names

of people who were involved?

I think what we don't know is what we don't know. And if Trump is fighting so hard to not have them released, it really does make you wonder, it really does make you wonder, what more terrible do we not know?
