President Donald Trump held an Oval Office press conference to address speculation about his health and whereabouts. Critics noted that the 79-year-old had not made a public appearance in about a week, with some observers commenting that he sounded 'tired' during the briefing.
Trump attacked CNN's chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, calling her a 'young beautiful woman' who 'never smiles' and accusing her of having 'hatred in her eyes.' He also criticized CNN and other major news organizations for 'abusing our people' and engaging in 'false reporting.'
During the briefing, Collins questioned Trump about the Justice Department's $1.8 billion weaponization fund, prompting Trump to praise the program before pivoting back to criticism of Collins and major news organizations.
