US EditionTrump threatens ABC News broadcast license after reporter asks about Epstein
President Trump demanded the Federal Communications Commission review ABC's broadcast licenses after an ABC reporter's questions on Jeffrey Epstein sparked his ire.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump, seated beside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, urged the FCC to revoke ABC's broadcast license after reporter Mary Bruce questioned him about Jeffrey Epstein.
- Mary Bruce, ABC News reporter, pressed Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman about U.S. intelligence linking him to Jamal Khashoggi's killing and asked why Trump would not release Jeffrey Epstein files before Tuesday's House vote.
- Trump attacked ABC News coverage, saying `I think the license should be taken away from ABC` and called its news `97% negative to Trump` before refusing further questions.
