Trump kicks The Independent's reporter off Air Force One after an Oval Office clash over his $25m fraud scheme
Donald Trump, with reporter Andrew Feinberg at the Oval Office, after calling him a "sick person" — Feinberg says he is in "perfect health" and will be "right back at it tomorrow.
Andrew Feinberg had challenged President Donald Trump and JD Vance on their new whistleblower programme, pointing out that the False Claims Act already pays far bigger rewards. Trump warned him to 'be careful', told him to be quiet and suggested something was 'wrong' with him. Vance called Feinberg an 'imbecile' on his official account. The White House Correspondents' Association branded his removal from the pool retaliation.
An unsigned email from the press office pulled him from Thursday's Sioux City trip without explanation.
Only 15 outlets rotate the print pool seat, taking turns alphabetically.
Feinberg hit back defiantly: Trump 'can't silence me'.
