Trump promises NBC’s Welker will be reported to FCC ‘for rebuke or punishment’
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.
