"CNN anchor and senior White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins called out President Donald Trump in a new interview, saying his attack on her over a question about Epstein survivors was revealing in that he made it about himself. The president flipped out on Collins as he took questions during a signing ceremony last week, raging at her for asking about concerns from survivors over the rollout of the newest Epstein Files dump."
"Well, I mean, I've also covered Trump for 10 years and so he doesn't really surprise me that often with his responses. And so it didn't really faze me that much because one, you know, he's not liked my lines of questioning before and I've had that moment. But I think, and I'm always, always maintained this and thought this when covering him, but any president and any, anyone who's in a position of power"
Kaitlan Collins asked President Donald Trump about Epstein survivors' concerns regarding redactions and perceived lack of justice during a signing ceremony. Trump responded angrily, attacking Collins and asserting that she never smiles, a comment framed by many as a misogynistic trope. Collins said Trump made the exchange about himself and that his belittling response deflected from the question's substance. Collins noted her long experience covering Trump and remained stoic during the exchange. She warned that engaging with personal attacks can shift focus away from accountability for officials and from survivors' concerns about transparency.
