White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt publicly criticized Huffington Post reporter S.V. Dáte, accusing him of biased reporting and sharing their heated text exchange on social media. The dispute began after Dáte questioned the choice of Budapest for an upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, referencing historical agreements involving Ukraine. Leavitt responded with a dismissive remark and later told Dáte to stop sending what she called disingenuous and biased questions. The incident has sparked discussion about the relationship between the press and the White House, with both sides accusing each other of partisanship.
