When asked about President Donald Trump telling a reporter, “Shut up, you pig” while answering questions aboard Air Force One last week, White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt responded that the president was “very honest and truthful with everyone in this room.”
Watch the clip in the video player above.
Speaking during her White House briefing, Levitt said that Trump sometimes “gets frustrated with reporters.”
But she insisted: “He is also the most transparent president in history.”
Leavitt said that speaking to reporters almost every day — as Trump has done since taking office in January — is “far more respectful” than Democratic President Joe Biden, who has taken questions less frequently.

She also said that journalists “should appreciate the candor and openness they are receiving from President Trump.”
A free press is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy.
Support trustworthy journalism and civil dialogue.
