White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized ABC journalist Terry Moran for his ‘unhinged rant’ against Trump advisor Stephen Miller, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing tension between the Trump administration and media outlets.
The dispute reportedly stems from disagreements between Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, which have intensified in recent weeks. These tensions have led to a series of public confrontations, with Leavitt and other administration officials increasingly vocal in their criticism of media coverage.
Leavitt’s comments signal a broader shift in how the Trump administration is responding to media scrutiny, with a more confrontational tone being adopted in recent months. The incident highlights the complex dynamics within the administration and the growing polarization between political figures and the media.
The situation also reflects the ongoing influence of corporate figures like Elon Musk in political discourse, with his disagreements with government officials amplifying existing tensions. As the debates continue, the impact on public perception and political strategy remains a key concern for both the administration and media outlets.
