Trump’s Clash With Reporter Rachel Scott Revives Long Fight With Critical Media
Trump said the $5,000 payment was a reward for voters after Rachel Scott pressed him on whether he would keep the pledge.
- On Thursday, ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott questioned President Donald Trump about his campaign promise to issue a $5,000 dividend to adult citizens if Republicans retain control of Congress.

- This interaction follows a recurring pattern of aggressive responses to journalists, including past incidents involving Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey and ABC News correspondent Mary Bruce, often characterized by personal insults.
- Advocacy groups like CPJ have documented extensive friction between the administration and the press, citing concerns over viewpoint discrimination and the use of legal threats against news organizations.
