White House escalates attack on female CNN reporter who Trump berated — and brings her children into it

Donald Trump’s administration escalated his war with the press — and particularly with women reporters — by invoking a White House correspondent’s children after she simply asked the president a pointed question during an Oval Office Q&A.

CNN reporter Kirsten Holmes on Monday asked the president to respond to recent remarks from Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, who had claimed Trump would “rather travel with your aide Natalie Harp and build the ballroom than do your job as president,” Holmes said.
