'Stupid question': Trump lashes out at reporter in new exclusive interview

President Donald Trump didn’t hold back his frustrations with a journalist during a heated moment in an exclusive ABC News interview, where he refused to say whether he had “100% confidence” in his embattled defense secretary.

The tense exchange came in a new interview with ABC’s Terry Moran, who pressed Trump about ongoing turmoil inside the Pentagon involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“Do you have 100% confidence in Pete Hegseth? Moran asked Trump in the Oval Office moment previewed on CNN Tuesday evening.

“I don’t have 100% confidence in anything, okay? Anything,” Trump said as he bristled between his responses. “It's a stupid question.”

That’s when Moran pushed back, telling the president the topic was “pretty important.” But Trump didn't back down.

“No, no, no,” Trump shot back. “You don't have 100%. Only a liar would say I have 100% confidence. I don’t have 100% confidence that we're going to finish this interview.”

Moran replied: “We will,” and the interview later concluded, CNN reported.

The moment came as Hegseth continues to be embroiled by revelations that he shared detailed military planning in private Signal chats, including with his wife, brother, personal attorney, and about a dozen other people in tow, according to media reports.
