Donald Trump berated a CNN reporter at a press availability, insisting that she 'be quiet' after she asked about a reduction in US military exercises with South Korea. The CNN correspondent, Kristen Holmes, pressed Trump on whether Kim Jong-un had requested a reduction in military activities.
USS Lincoln complaints dismissed
When another reporter asked about the extensive accounts of deteriorating living conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln during its lengthy deployment in the Strait of Hormuz, the president dismissed the complaints: 'It was fake news reporting from CNN'.
The exchange took place in the Oval Office and was captured on video. The president's remarks came amid ongoing scrutiny of his administration's policies toward North Korea and the military's handling of the carrier's deployment.
