As Epstein questions linger, Trump falls back into familiar habit: lashing out at female reporters

He called one a piggy' after being questioned about the files, and reacted furiously to another during a meeting with the Saudi crown prince

Since the early days of his political career, Donald Trump has been critical of the media, but in recent days his hostility has reached a new peak - particularly when it comes to questions about his association with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump invoked the phrase piggy" - a term he has used before - to describe a female reporter on Friday, and has aggressively responded to at least one other female reporter over the past week, including threatening to revoke ABC's license.
