President Donald Trump has been accused of attacking a female journalist, Nora O'Donnell, in a recent interview following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The incident occurred when O'Neill read aloud part of a note from the suspected gunman's suspected accomplice, which she highlighted. The president responded by claiming he was not a pedophile and claiming his friends were involved with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein or other prominent figures. Experts have suggested that this incident was a perfect storm for Trump to lash out when confronted with criticism. They also noted that he has a long history of attacking the media and has a tendency to belittle or deflect, particularly towards women.
