Donald Trump Responds With Fiery Outburst When Asked About Epstein File by ABC Reporter While Meeting Saudi Crown Prince, Raising Eyebrows Among Journalists and Top figures
Trump Erupts Over Epstein File During Saudi Arabia Visit, Sparks Media Frenzy
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Former President Donald Trump made headlines on Monday after an explosive encounter with an ABC News reporter while attending a high-profile meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. When questioned about the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files, Trump responded with a heated outburst, drawing sharp reactions from journalists and observers alike.

According to witnesses, the exchange occurred during a press briefing held on the sidelines of the diplomatic visit. The reporter asked Trump about the status of documents related to Epstein’s alleged activities and whether any revelations could impact ongoing investigations. Trump immediately cut off the question, insisting the matter was “totally misrepresented” and “a distraction” from his official duties abroad.
“You people always want to make a story out of nothing,” Trump reportedly said, raising his voice. “The Epstein file? It’s under control. Focus on real issues, not sensationalism.”
The confrontation lasted several minutes, drawing attention from international media outlets covering the Saudi visit. Analysts noted that the tense exchange underscores Trump’s continued sensitivity regarding the Epstein case, which has lingered in the public spotlight for years.
Observers also pointed out the delicate timing of the outburst, which came during an official engagement with Saudi leadership. Diplomatic sources suggest that while the meeting itself remained on schedule, the media incident temporarily overshadowed discussions on trade and regional security.
Social media quickly amplified video clips of the encounter, with reactions ranging from criticism of Trump’s handling of the question to debate over press freedom and accountability for public figures.
The ABC reporter involved declined to comment on the exchange, citing ongoing editorial review, while Trump’s office reiterated that the former president considers the Epstein file “private and politically weaponized.”
As the visit continues, attention remains on how Trump navigates both media scrutiny and his interactions with foreign leaders, with the Epstein question likely to remain a flashpoint for the foreseeable future.
