On the South Lawn of the White House, the annual Easter egg roll was marked by lively celebrations, but tensions arose as reporters confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump about a leaked sensitive military communication. Hegseth reacted angrily, accusing the media of spreading false narratives, while the President distracted from the controversy with remarks about Pope Francis. Despite the festive atmosphere, the event highlighted underlying tensions between the administration and the media regarding transparency and accusations of 'fake news'.
These kids right here... this is why we're fighting the fake news media. You peddle anonymous sources from leakers with axes to grind and then you put it all together as if it's some news story.
Mr. Trump addressed the crowd from a balcony and spoke about Pope Francis, whose death was announced by the Vatican overnight, before descending into the crowd which included reporters.
