Still reeling from the scandal surrounding his comments about halting immigration from "sh-thole countries," U.S. President Donald Trump has again come under fire — this time for reportedly referring to an intelligence analyst as a "pretty Korean lady" and suggested she should be part of negotiations with North Korea.

NBC News reported Friday that the conversation last fall between the "career intelligence analyst," an expert in hostage policy, and the president happened last fall in the Oval Office, when Trump was being briefed on the impending release of a family long held in Pakistan.

The network, citing two unidentified officials with direct knowledge of the exchange, said the president asked where the briefer was from, to which she replied New York. Unsatisfied, Trump pressed again, asking where "your people" are from.
