Unidentified Woman's Laughter Interrupts Trump's C-SPAN Call — Politics
An unidentified woman's laughter could be heard Monday night during President Donald Trump's call to C-SPAN, just as he started speaking on Washington Journal Primetime. In a clip shared by TMZ, host Mimi Geerges thanked Trump for joining the program. As he began to reply, a woman laughed, but she was not shown on camera. It was not clear whether the laughter came from Trump's side of the call or from C-SPAN, or whether Trump or Geerges heard it. Neither mentioned the interruption during the broadcast. They discussed immigration, Iran and House efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The call was one of several recent media appearances by Trump, including a 60 Minutes interview, after Republican losses in the U.S. midterm elections. Trump also recently suggested that UFC chief executive Dana White could become White House press secretary. According to TMZ, White declined the offer.
