Reporter hits back with a clean bill of health after Trump asks him 'are you a 'sick person'?' in the Oval Office
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, White House correspondent for The Independent, says he had his annual physical this month and is in 'perfect health'. The clash erupted on Tuesday when he challenged President Donald Trump's new $25 million fraud whistleblower fund. Feinberg pointed out that a reward law for whistleblowers has existed since 1883. Vice President JD Vance branded him an 'imbecile' on X, but Feinberg vowed: 'I'll be right back at it tomorrow.'
Trump's new scheme offers tipsters up to $30,000 for verified fraud leads.
The White House rapid response account called Feinberg a 'Mongoloid Moron', an ableist slur.
Feinberg says Trump winked at him earlier in the event, then asked who he was.
