00:00A moment from Donald Trump's press gaggle last week is going viral after he called a female journalist piggy aboard Air Force One.
00:15On Friday, November 14th, the president snapped at a Bloomberg reporter who was off camera as she appeared to follow up after asking a question about Jeffrey Epstein's past emails which referenced him.
00:24Before the now viral moment, Trump was first asked what Epstein meant that Trump knew, quote, about the girls, referring to a document released by the House Oversight Democrats last week that displayed a 2019 email from Epstein to author Michael Wolff with that claim.
00:54Larry Summers, whatever his name is, and all of the other people that he spent time with.
01:00Jeffrey Epstein, I had a bird man relationship for many years, but he also saw a strike because of his arrest.
01:07So he dictated a couple of bellas to himself, give me a break.
01:11You've got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton, with respect to the head of Harvard, with respect to all of those people that he knew, including J.P. Morgan.
01:21Bloomberg News released a statement to The Guardian about the moment, saying, quote,
01:34Our White House journalists perform a vital public service, asking questions without fear or favor.
01:39We remain focused on reporting issues of public interest fairly inaccurately.
01:42In the email referenced, dated January 31st, 2019, Epstein claims in part, quote,
01:49Of course he knew about the girls, as he asked Elaine to stop.
01:57It is not clear what the deceased convicted sex offender meant.
02:01House Democrats also released other emails of Epstein's, ranging from the years 2011 to 2015, which also referenced Trump.
02:08House Republicans then released an additional 20,000 pages of documents in response.
02:13Trump recently changed his stance when speaking about releasing the Epstein files.
02:17He now encouraged House Republicans to vote to release them, a sharp reversal from his previous comments on the matter.
02:22Though Trump and Epstein did previously know each other and spend time together,
02:26the 79-year-old has adamantly denied any wrongdoing and has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.
