President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded that a reporter stop asking about the group messaging scandal involving members of his Cabinet and other high-level officials.

While traveling on Air Force One, a reporter asked Trump if he wanted to weigh in on the inspector general investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the Signal messaging app to discuss highly sensitive military plans.

At first, Trump was unclear on the question. “What is it?” Trump said.

“There’s an IG investigation into the secretary of defense’s use of the Signal app,” she said.

Trump got irritated.

“Oh, is that? You’re bringing that up again?” a miffed Trump fired back. “Don’t bring that up again. Your editor’s probably, that’s such a wasted story.”
