Donald Trump and his cabinet hit out at a CNN journalist during a tense Oval Office showdown after she asked about a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

Kaitlan Collins, CNN’s chief White House correspondent asked if Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be returned to the United States, during a media round with Trump and El Salvador leader President Nayib Bukele on Monday (14 April).
