Trump’s Threats Spark FCC License Probe | Europe News

Trump’s latest fury over networks skipping his election security speech is sparking real FCC action — and a constitutional firestorm. After years of threats, FCC Chair Brendan Carr is now investigating NBC’s parent company, Comcast, and fast-tracking ABC’s station licenses — moves that could lead to revocation. While presidents traditionally get to decide whether their speeches air live, Trump sees it as a “fake news” cover-up. Legal experts warn Carr risks violating First Amendment protections by tying license reviews to political grievances, but Carr’s push — backed by conservatives and empowered by a recent Supreme Court ruling — signals a dangerous shift in FCC power. Commissioner Gomez firmly rejects Trump’s claims, reminding the public that editorial choices are constitutionally protected — but the commission’s next move could redefine media freedom in America.
