‘Do We Know that Happened?’: Lara Trump’s Defense of the President’s ‘Piggy’ Comment Left Bill Maher Stunned

Lara Trump denied President Trump called a reporter 'piggy' aboard Air Force One despite video evidence, sparking debate over his treatment of journalists and White House defenses.

  • On Monday, Lara Trump denied that President Donald Trump called a reporter piggy aboard Air Force One, leaving comedian Bill Maher in disbelief during their Club Random podcast.
  • On Nov. 14, President Donald Trump was speaking with reporters on Air Force One when Catherine Lucey, Bloomberg White House correspondent, asked about the Epstein files and he responded with quiet, piggy.
  • Bill Maher insisted he saw the tape and said, `There are people you just have to talk to and not talking and going no contact`, warning insults like piggy hurt outreach.
  • The reaction included a massive wave of backlash from the public and media, while White House officials and allies defended the president, with Karoline Leavitt praising his frankness.
