Donald Trump told a Jewish journalist to “sit down” during a stormy press conference at the White House.

The US President spent 80 minutes railing against the media, “fake news” and challenges to his administration.

Among his exchanges with reporters was a clash with strictly Orthodox correspondent Jake Turx of Ami magazine, a religious right-wing publication in the US.

Mr Turx was attempting to ask Mr Trump about a rise in antisemitism following the election, and cited the bomb threats against Jewish community centres in the past month.
