Trump Demands Netflix Fire Susan Rice or 'Pay the Consequences'
Trump demands Netflix remove Susan Rice from its board during DOJ's antitrust review of Warner Bros. Discovery deal amid political tensions and corporate accountability concerns.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump used Truth Social to demand Netflix fire Susan Rice, amplifying conservative activist Laura Loomer's calls and warning Netflix to `pay the consequences`.
- On Thursday, Rice warned that companies that `take a knee` to Trump could face an `accountability agenda` if Democrats regain power, speaking on Preet Bharara's podcast.
- Netflix's co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, testified before a Senate Judiciary antitrust subcommittee earlier this month and said he didn't seek political concessions during talks for the $72 billion deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
- The dispute comes as the Department of Justice antitrust division reviews the $83 billion Netflix-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, with shareholders voting on March 20, 2026, and Netflix and Rice did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- President Trump previously said he `shouldn't be involved` but has since engaged publicly amid the seven-day deliberation period and DOJ review of the Netflix-Warner Bros. deal.
