Last night, President Trump held a late-night press conference following the cancellation of the White House Correspondents Dinner due to an attempted assassination.
Tonight, he appeared on CBS News “60 Minutes” with reporter Norah O’Donnell. During the interview, O’Donnell repeated statements from what has been described as an alleged shooter’s manifesto that referred to administration officials as “pedophiles.”
Trump responded with sharp criticism: “I am NOT a pedophile. You read that crap from some SICK person.” He added, “Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones who were involved with Epstein” and “You shouldn’t be reading that on 60 Minutes. You are a DISGRACE.”
The incident occurred after O’Donnell cited specific language from the manifesto, which reportedly detailed plans to target Trump’s security team.
