Trump Calls Fox Reporter's Question on Russia Sharing Intel with Iran "Stupid"

During a White House event on March 6, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy attempted to question President Trump about reports that Russia was supplying Iran with intelligence to target U.S. forces in the Middle East. Trump interrupted Doocy before he could finish, acknowledging that Doocy had "always been very nice" to him while calling the question "stupid" and urging the press to stay on the current topic. Trump dismissed the Russia-Iran intelligence concern as "an easy problem" compared to what was being discussed at the event. The exchange drew attention amid ongoing U.S. military operations in the region.
