ABC Journo Trump Attacked Over Troops Gets Gushing Praise From CNN Media Ace: She Refused to Be Shushed'

"This reporter refused to be shushed: Yesterday Mariam Khan (@MKhan47) was the TV pool representative aboard Air Force One, meaning she was there on behalf of all the major networks. Khan brought up the fact that your PAC put out a fundraising email using photos taken at a dignified transfer of US service members killed in Kuwait. She asked: Do you think that's an appropriate email to send?"

"Trump said yes, and that he didn't see the email, then defended himself, then asked, Who are you with? Trump genuinely didn't recognize Khan it was actually her first time aboard Air Force One with him. When she answered Trump's question and said ABC, he said, I don't want any more from ABC, and looked around the plane for other questioners."

ABC News Supervising Producer Mariam Khan confronted President Trump aboard Air Force One regarding a controversial fundraising email from his PAC that featured photos from a dignified transfer ceremony for service members killed in Kuwait. When Khan asked if the email was appropriate, Trump claimed he hadn't seen it while defending the action. After Khan persisted with follow-up questions about troop deployments, Trump made a dismissive gesture and called her obnoxious. As the pool reporter representing all major networks, Khan's refusal to be silenced earned praise from CNN's Brian Stelter, who highlighted her professionalism in advocating for her colleagues despite Trump's attempts to shut down questioning.
