Nearly two days after former\u00a0President Donald Trump was struck in the face with a boom mic<\/a>\u00a0during a press briefing, social media users have identified the journalist behind the incident. Independent journalist Laura Loomer led an investigation that identified Danielle Kurtzleben, a White House reporter for NPR, as the responsible individual.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred Friday night when Trump addressed reporters before departing on Air Force One to Palm Beach. While answering questions, a female reporter\u2019s boom microphone, commonly called a \u201cdead cat\u201d due to its fuzzy windscreen, unexpectedly struck him. The event quickly sparked controversy online, with many questioning whether the act was intentional and criticizing the apparent lack of immediate response from the Secret Service.<\/p>\n
