President Donald Trump lashed out at a CNN journalist during a White House roundtable, cutting her off mid-question and branding her �one of the worst reporters� before refusing to answer.

The confrontation erupted as Trump fielded questions during a session on Antifa at the White House. Moments earlier, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had passed the president a handwritten note urging him to announce an Israel-Hamas ceasefire � a move that quickly shifted the tone of the event.

As CNN�s senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes began to ask whether Trump was �personally participating� in the emerging peace deal, the president interrupted her.

�This is CNN speaking, by the way,� Trump said, gesturing toward administration officials seated nearby. �So, you know, this is one of the worst reporters that you�ll ever see.�

�I don�t even want to take her question. It�s a waste of time,� he added, waving her off before calling on another reporter.

The exchange underscored Trump�s long-running hostility toward CNN, a network he has repeatedly derided as �fake news� since his first term.

Shortly thereafter, Trump took to Truth Social to announce that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of his 20-point Middle East peace plan. The deal, he said, would lead to the release of Israeli hostages and a temporary halt to fighting in Gaza.
