Trump has sharp words for ABC's Vega, CNN's Collins

NEW YORK (AP) — ABC's Cecilia Vega and CNN's Kaitlan Collins were targets of a combative President Donald Trump for asking questions about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh at the White House on Monday.

Trump called on Vega at the start of the Rose Garden event on trade and appeared to mock her.

"She's shocked that I picked her," Trump said. "She's, like, in a state of shock."

He appeared to mishear Vega as she answered him, "I'm not. Thank you, Mr. President."

"That's OK," he said. "I know you're not thinking. You never do."

"I'm sorry?" Vega responded.

"Go ahead," Trump said.

Vega asked him to clarify his feelings about the limits of the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh.
