President Trump didn’t just clash with a reporter this week; he suggested the Federal Communications Commission should actually revoke ABC’s broadcast license after an intense exchange over Jeffrey Epstein and Saudi Arabia. This is a pretty major escalation, and it happened right in the Oval Office on Tuesday while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was looking on.
The confrontation centered on ABC’s Chief White House Correspondent, Mary Bruce. She pressed the president on a few highly sensitive topics, specifically asking about the recent release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Bruce also directed questions at the Crown Prince regarding the 2018 murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, which U.S. intelligence attributes to the Saudi leader.
