Trump Rebukes CNN Reporter During Tense Oval Office Exchange
CNN defended Kristen Holmes after Trump called her fake news and told her to be quiet during questions about South Korea and a White House aide.
- On Monday, President Trump lashed out at CNN journalist Kristen Holmes after she questioned him about his aide Natalie Harp, following remarks by Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff regarding Harp's role in his inner circle.
- Senator Ossoff prompted the exchange by suggesting at a rally that Trump travels with Harp on a "defenceless flying palace" gifted by the Emir of Qatar, bringing an innuendo circulating in Washington to public attention.
- Rapid Response 47, an official White House channel with 2.2 million followers, attacked Holmes as a "scumbag" and a mother, explicitly linking Trump's outburst to her question about the staffer.
- CNN defended its reporter in a statement, calling the personal attacks "beneath the office" and inconsistent with press freedom principles, affirming it stands "firmly behind Kristen" in her reporting.
- Natalie Harp, 34, is an executive assistant who spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention; The New York Times reported in 2024 that Harp wrote fawning letters to Trump, whom she previously assisted at One America News.
