It was belatedly known that former U.S. President Donald Trump tossed the mobile phone of a reporter who was persistently asking questions about the allegation of providing money to silence a sexual scandal and asked him to leave.
The Washington Post (WP) of the United States reported on the 3rd (local time) that former President Trump had obtained a transcript of a conversation he had with reporters on his private jet immediately after campaigning in Waco, Texas on March 25.
This situation occurred immediately after former President Trump posted a post on his SNS, Truth Social, at the time, saying, “Protest to supporters, saying that the New York Manhattan prosecutors, who are investigating his suspicions, will arrest him.”
Former President Trump boasted to some reporters on the plane that the crowd at the campaign that day exceeded 25,000, and asked if the reporters enjoyed the event.
“There has never been anything like this in history,” he said. He said that Ronald Reagan would be revived, and if there were popular politicians, there would be 300 to 400 people (the crowd in attendance). “He was 179. He was the biggest crowd ever in Iowa.”
When one of the reporters asked about the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation, former President Trump replied, “They have no evidence.”
Then, when Hillyard NBC’s reporter said, ‘(You) seem frustrated’ in relation to the investigation, he said, “I was frustrated? I just spoke for two hours. I am not frustrated with it,” he said. “It is a fake rhetoric. We did nothing wrong. Quite the opposite. this is fake news NBC is one of the bad news. Don’t ask any more questions about it.”
Former President Trump said, ‘Can violence be justified? When asked by a reporter from Hillyard whether the 1·6 incident can be purged, he said, “I never approve of violence, but many people are angry.”
Former President Trump said, “I don’t want to talk to you. You are not a good person.”
However, when Hillyard continued to ask questions, former President Trump picked up the cell phone on the table and said, “Whose is it?” and threw it aside when Hillyard said “mine.”
The WP said in the audio recording that a light thump was heard when former President Trump threw his cell phone.
Former President Trump then said, “Get him out of here. Get out of here,” he shouted, and the staff moved the reporters to another location.
Stephen Cheung, a spokesman for Trump’s re-election campaign, explained in this regard, “Trump has been burning (on a private plane) many mainstream media, and so far there has been nothing unsavory.” A few days later, former President Trump was indicted on 34 charges related to allegations of silence on three sex scandals.
