Weijia Jiang

Weijia Jiang (Chinese: 姜伟嘉; pinyin: Jiāng Wěijiā; born June 6, 1983) is an American television journalist and reporter.

In 2018 Jiang became CBS News White House Correspondent, covering political stories including President Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Mueller Probe. As part of her role, Jiang has traveled with President Trump, including on-board Air **** One.

Upon becoming a White House Correspondent in 2018, Jiang has found herself in numerous clashes with President Trump, often in response to her line of questioning. These interactions have amassed global news coverage questioning sensitive issues around racism.

On June 15, 2018, Jiang asked President Trump why he felt North Korea no longer posed a nuclear threat to which he raised his hand and said "Quiet" before remarking to another person, "She's so obnoxious".

On May 11, 2020, Jiang questioned why there was an emphasis on competitively comparing coronavirus testing, President Trump responded "Don't ask me. Ask China that question." Jiang responded "Sir, why are you saying that to me, specifically?" to which Trump replied "I am not saying it specifically to anybody. I am saying it to anybody who would ask a nasty question like that." Trump abruptly left the press conference soon after this interaction as CNN White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins was turned down from asking her question.
