US President Donald Trump sharply rebuked CNN reporter Kamal A. Holmes after she questioned him about one of his aides during a White House exchange.
Trump criticised Holmes during the interaction, calling her a “loud, boisterous person” and accusing CNN of being “fake news” before telling the reporter to be quiet.
The confrontation drew attention as Trump continued to spar with members of the White House press corps over questions concerning his administration.
The exchange reflects the often tense relationship between Trump and CNN, with press briefings and media interactions frequently becoming confrontational.
