The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump told CNN White House correspondent Kristen Holmes to “be quiet” in the Oval Office on Monday, calling her “very disrespectful,” “fake news” and “a loud, boisterous person” after she asked about reduced U.S.-South Korea military drills and Sen. Jon Ossoff’s remark about aide Natalie Harp. CNN condemned the attacks, saying Holmes asked relevant, newsworthy questions. Harp, 35, is under scrutiny for extensive access to Trump, including an October 2023 episode in which she rode in an SUV trunk after staff said no seat was available.
