White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt defended US President Donald Trump after he appeared in one instance to have called a journalist a 'pig' and ordered her to be silent during a press conference aboard the presidential aircraft. She added that Trump 'always exposes fake news' and does not hesitate to show his anger when misleading information about his administration spreads, considering the president 'the most transparent in US history' thanks to the unprecedented access he has granted the media. Leavitt stated that Trump is 'frank and honest,' and said: 'You have seen it yourselves, you have experienced it yourselves. I believe this is one of the many reasons that led the American people to elect this president, because of his frankness and honesty.'
