A CNN reporter has responded publicly after a clip of Donald Trump criticizing her for “never smiling” went viral earlier this week.

Journalist and anchor Kaitlan Collins was present at a White House press conference on Tuesday (February 3), where the Republican leader fielded questions about his name appearing in the most recent release of the Epstein files.

Trump, now 79, is among many well-known figures whose names surfaced in photos, videos, and emails previously held by the US Department of Justice related to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.

Following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche began a phased release of the documents. The materials also reference a wide range of prominent individuals, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Sarah Ferguson, Lord Peter Mandelson, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Steve Bannon, Mette-Marit, Larry Summers, and Bill Gates.
