- Vice President Vance shared a clip on X calling Feinberg an 'imbecile' for 'misbehaving,' prompting the reporter to challenge him to 'have the guts' to tag his account.
- Recent legal challenges regarding media access have highlighted the administration's ongoing friction with the press, including previous heated exchanges between Feinberg and Vance during White House briefings.

Trump calls reporter a 'sick person'
Donald Trump has labelled a reporter a "sick person" when he asked a question he didn't like.
The U.S. president confronted himself again with a reporter in the White House: he demanded that he shut up and asked him if he was ill. The incident adds to the tension between the president and the media, which he climbed in September, when he announced access restrictions for CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists.
