CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan Calls Out Ultra-MAGA Brian Glenn for Not Asking Trump About Epstein
Senior CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan called out Real America’s Voice Chief White House Correspondent Brian Glenn for not using his access to ask President Donald Trump about Jeffrey Epstein and the so-called “Epstein Files.”
Since taking office for a second time, President Donald Trump and his press shop have reshaped the White House press to include an increasingly dominant cadre of pro-MAGA voices in the briefing room and press pool. The result has been widespread criticism of a “sycophantic” bent in questions asked at the White House.
O’Sullivan, who specializes in reporting on the fringes of the conservative and pro-Trump movement, has been tracking the new MAGA denizens for months. This week, he pressed several of them about the rift that has opened up over Trump and Epstein.
In a new report, O’Sullivan noted Glenn’s relative silence amid the furor from Trump supporters, and got Glenn’s explanation for this on the driveway to the West Wing of the White House:
BRIAN GLENN, CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, REAL AMERICA’S VOICE: Those that say they’ll no longer support President Trump because he didn’t release every single thing we’ve ever known about Jeffrey Epstein just because they say they’re done, they’re not done.
DONIE O’SULLIVAN, CNN SENIOR REPORTER (voice-over): The Epstein saga has rocked the MAGA base for weeks.
MIKE BENZ, TRUMP SUPPORTER: February 2015, Trump stands at CPAC.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Bill Clinton?
TRUMP: Nice guy, got a lot of problems coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein.
BENZ: Like you trained us to go after this issue.
REPORTER: Does the president believe that justice has been served in Epstein case?
O’SULLIVAN: President Trump can’t get away from questions about Epstein.
REPORTER: Ghislaine Maxwell says she’ll only testify if you pardon her or she gets immunity.
O’SULLIVAN: But at the White House, few of those questions are coming from Trump supporting media outlets.
GLENN: If you look at the, you know, 20 of the top 47 promises President Trump made, he delivered on all those campaign promises.
O’SULLIVAN: Brian Glenn, is the White House correspondent for MAGA media outlets, Real America’s Voice.
GLENN: People say, why don’t you ask questions about Epstein? I’m like, because everyone else is asking the question, Epstein.
