ABC News reporter Terry Moran has been suspended from the air after sharing an incendiary social media post about one of President Donald Trump’s key advisers.

In the early hours of Sunday, June 8, the 65-year-old senior national correspondent took to X to share a post about Stephen Miller, the president’s homeland security adviser and deputy chief of staff for policy.

Moran referred to both Miller and Trump as “world-class hater[s]” in the post, which has since been deleted.

A spokesperson for ABC News commented on the post in a statement shared with PEOPLE, noting that Moran “has been suspended pending further evaluation.”

“ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards,” their statement noted.

Moran took aim at Miller and the president in the post, which was shared shortly after midnight on Sunday.

“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,” Moran wrote. “Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into police. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller.”

The reporter continued: “It’s not brains. It’s bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.”

“Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred is only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification [sic]. That’s his spiritual nourishment,” he concluded.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt referred to the post as “a rampage against Stephen Miller” in a response on X.

“This is unhinged and unacceptable,” she wrote, adding, “We have reached out to @ABC to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.”

Vice President J.D. Vance also referred to the message as an “absolutely vile smear” in a message on the social media platform.

“It’s dripping with hatred. Remember that every time you watch ABC’s coverage of the Trump administration,” Vance wrote. “As it happens, I know Stephen quite well. And he’s motivated by love of country. He’s motivated by a fear that people like Terry Moran make rules that normal Americans have to follow, but well-connected people don’t.”

Vance wrote, “It’s why he fought so hard to get President Trump elected and why he works so hard to implement the agenda.”

He further commented that the news network “should apologize to Stephen.”

Moran’s post comes a few weeks after he sat down for an exclusive interview with Trump, marking the end of his first 100 days in office since being inaugurated for a second time in January 2025.

During the interview, Trump complained that the reporter was “not being very nice” after Moran informed the president that an image of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legally protected father who was accidentally deported to El Salvador earlier this year, had been photoshopped.

“I picked you because, frankly, I had never heard of you, but that’s okay,” Trump said.

Another viral moment from the interview came when Moran asked Trump what the Declaration of Independence meant to him.

“Well, it means exactly what it says, it’s a declaration. A declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot. And it’s something very special to our country,” the president replied as Moran stared at him with visible confusion on his face.

Miller attracted attention in early May during a press briefing about the Department of Education and schools.

Trump’s advisor took issue with critical race theory, saying that a nation cannot be “successful” if it “teach[es] its children to hate themselves and their country.”

“Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots,” he said. “Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding.”

Hailey Bieber is sharing her summer plans — and they sound pretty ideal.

The beauty mogul, 28, posted a carousel of snapshots and videos on Instagram on Sunday, June 8. The images featured everything from close-up selfies to icy summer cocktails.

“Lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long ,” she captioned the post.

In one of the photos, the Rhode founder teased the brand’s upcoming undereye patches — which are not yet available for sale — by playfully placing one squarely on her derriere.

Another photo showed Hailey posing in a black string bikini and cowboy hat.

Yet another image featured a chilled lemon drop martini on a table at a restaurant.

Hailey also shared several additional snap from her Rhode beauty line, which she recently sold to e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion — while maintaining her role as the lead creative at the company.

The model’s latest social media post came just hours after her husband, Justin Bieber, shared a series of cryptic posts on social media venting about “transactional relationships” and other people’s expectations of him.

“If I have to do something to be loved, that’s not love,” Justin, 31, added alongside a pair of black-and-white selfies.

Justin shared insight into his current emotional state the previous day on Saturday, June 7, through a series of Instagram Stories in which he wrote that he was tired of being told to work “harder” on himself.

“People still keep making me think if I work hard on myself I’ll be better like them,” he wrote. “But the harder I work on myself, the more I think about myself. I thought the point was to think about one another? The only thing that helps me think about others to let go, not try harder. Join me in letting go of not trying harder.”

Hailey also recently got candid about some of the struggles of living in the public eye in a Vogue profile published on May 20.

“Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult,” she told outlet. “And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, ‘They’re getting divorced’ and ‘They’re this’ and ‘They’re not happy,’ it is such a mindf—-.” 

She added, “I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live.”

Hailey and Justin married in September 2018 after a whirlwind romance. They welcomed a son, named Jack, in August 2024.
