White House Fires Back at ABC News After Deleted Tweet Controversy

On June 8th, 2025, a controversy erupted after ABC News correspondent Terry Moran posted a now-deleted tweet criticizing Stephen Miller, a top Trump administration official. The tweet was described by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as "unhinged and unacceptable." In a video response, Leavitt stated, "ABC is going to have to answer for what their so-called journalist put out on Twitter." She further emphasized the importance of unbiased and professional journalism. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between the White House and certain news organizations regarding press access and reporting. A judge recently ruled against the Associated Press's claim of a constitutional right to access the Oval Office and Air Force One, a decision Leavitt celebrated as a victory for the White House. This ruling underscores the White House's commitment to maintaining control over access to sensitive areas and information. The ongoing debate about press freedom and the White House's approach to transparency continues to be a focal point in American politics.
