Trump Fires Back at CBS Reporter “I’m Not a Rap*st” Calls Media “Horrible People”

President Trump clashed with CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell during a tense 60 Minutes interview on April 26, 2026, following the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The interview turned explosive when O’Donnell read excerpts from a manifesto allegedly written by the suspect, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen. The document labeled administration officials as "pedophiles, rapists, and traitors," prompting a fierce rebuttal from the President. Trump labeled the media "horrible people" for giving airtime to the "crap" of a "sick person," and explicitly stated, "I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody." Visible angered, Trump accused O’Donnell of being a "disgrace" and suggested that the journalist and her "friends on the other side" were the ones truly connected to figures like Jeffrey Epstein. He maintained that he has been "totally exonerated" of any such ties and blamed "radicalized" political rhetoric for the assassination attempt. Despite the confrontation, the President used the interview to project a sense of calm, stating he "wasn’t worried" during the gunfire and is pushing for the Correspondents' Dinner to be rescheduled within 30 days. #Trump #NorahODonnell #60Minutes #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #BreakingNews #ColeTomasAllen #WashingtonDC #SecretService #EpsteinFiles
