In a tense interaction in the Oval Office, President Trump targeted CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, accusing her of false reporting and criticizing her demeanor. When Collins inquired about the Justice Department's $1.776 million 'anti-weaponization fund,' Trump expressed his frustration, stating, 'Be quiet ... you should be ashamed of yourself.' He claimed Collins, who he noted is from Alabama, used to be a conservative but has since changed. Trump described CNN as a 'very corrupt organization' and questioned the integrity of its reporting. He further commented on Collins' lack of a smile, stating, 'I see her standing with such hatred in her eyes.' Despite the barrage of criticism, Collins remained composed and did not engage with Trump's personal attacks, simply noting her origins in Alabama. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Trump and the media, particularly CNN, which he has frequently criticized during his presidency.
