  • President Donald Trump called PBS White House correspondent Liz Landers a "rotten reporter" after she questioned his claims of election fraud and the recent seizure of Arizona election records.
  • Landers reminded Trump that his own attorney general in 2020 found no evidence of widespread voter fraud, a conclusion supported by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes after a 10,000-hour investigation.
  • Mayes confirmed on Wednesday that she was "happy" to turn over the state's election records for the Trump administration's "unserious" probe, according to KTAR.
  • The incident with Landers follows a pattern of Trump insulting women reporters who ask challenging questions, with at least five such instances occurring in as many months.
  • Notable examples include Trump telling CNN's Kaitlan Collins she "doesn't smile enough" and calling her the "worst reporter," and labeling CBS's Nancy Cordes a "stupid person."
