President Trump repeatedly told a woman reporter to be "quiet" while talking to the press Friday morning, even as other reporters also jostled for him to answer their questions. At one point Trump was caught on camera putting his hand in the woman's face and demanding she be "quiet" before turning and telling someone nearby, "She's so obnoxious."

The reporter singled out by Trump was apparently CBS News' Weijia Jiang. Trump "told me I was obnoxious and to be quiet at least five times," she tweeted, "but to his credit he did answer plenty of our questions." Watch below. Jeva Lange
