Trump’s bullying of women reporters won’t stop reporters from asking tough questions | Jenice Armstrong
Catherine Lucey is a dogged reporter. I used to work with her when she was at the Philadelphia Daily News. She isn’t about to let the president’s schoolyard taunts stop her, writes Jenice Armstrong.
