President Donald Trump snapped at CNN Senior White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins when she confronted him about the new Jeffrey Epstein bombshell he dropped on Air Force One minutes earlier.
While Trump was dogged by questions about his currently dead sex criminal onetime pal Epstein throughout his trip to Scotland, the ride home turned out to be the most revealing.
On Tuesday, Trump emerged into the press cabin to take questions for about half an hour, during which he slowly tricked his way through revelations about his split with Epstein that crescendoed with the bombshell that deceased Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was among the Mar-a-Lago staffers Epstein “stole” from the spa at Mar-a-Lago:
REPORTER: Mr. President, did — did one of those stolen, you know, persons, did that include Virginia Giuffre?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yes. He — he stole her. And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know. None whatsoever.
After the plane landed and Trump returned to the White House, Collins led a brief scrum on the colonnade that included a confrontation over the Giuffre revelation.
When Collins asked if the “stealing” of young women from the spas raised “alarm bells” for him at the time, Trump snapped “Be quiet!”
Undeterred, Collins continued to press Trump as he walked away:
CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAITLAN COLLINS: Mr. President, you said earlier that Jeffrey Epstein was stealing young women. You said Jeffrey Epstine was stealing women from your spa. Did that raise alarm bells for you?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Be quiet!
CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAITLAN COLLINS: Did that raise alarm bells for you?

CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAITLAN COLLINS: Ghislaine Maxwell says she’ll only testify if you pardon her or she gets immunity–.
