Jacqui Heinrich, 36, is the senior White House correspondent for Fox News who delivered a blunt assessment of President Trump's Alaska news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. She reported that the room felt bad and that Putin appeared to steamroll the event, claim his photo beside the president, and depart. Her on-the-scene comments provoked social media attention and drew commentary from figures such as John Oliver. Heinrich has repeatedly challenged Republican politicians and policies, sometimes drawing criticism while earning praise from fellow White House correspondents. Colleagues describe her as willing to upset the base in order to report the news.
Despite her employer's conservative bent, Heinrich, 36, has shown a willingness to challenge Republican politicians and policies, sometimes drawing heat from internal and external critics for doing so - but also winning her plaudits from her fellow White House correspondents. "She is not afraid of pissing off the base," said a White House correspondent who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized by their employer to comment.
"It did not seem like things went well, and it seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, and got his photo next to the president and then left." Social media lit up. Two days later, on his HBO show, host John Oliver said that Trump "held a press conference that went so badly even this Fox News reporter couldn't put a positive spin on it."
