Trump says NBC's Welker will be reported to FCC
Trump said Welker’s endorsement coverage was inaccurate and vowed to report her to the Federal Communications Commission for rebuke or punishment.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump vowed to report NBC News' Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission over her Meet the Press commentary on his endorsement record.
- Welker recently stated that Trump has "mixed results" on endorsements, prompting Trump to claim on Truth Social a "99% SUCCESS Rate on Endorsements" and "100% on Senatorial Endorsements."
- Trump abruptly exited a June interview after Welker challenged his claims regarding California election security, subsequently calling NBC a "one-sided, crooked network."
- Critics allege the FCC has become increasingly political during Trump's second term under Brendan Carr's leadership, while Disney and ABC previously sued over what they called an unconstitutional "retaliatory campaign."
- This development occurs as Trump intensifies rhetoric against media outlets he terms the "Fake Press," and with midterms approaching, the president's threat to use federal oversight to rebuke reporters marks a contentious period for broadcast journalism.
