NewzFormer President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he intends to report NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for what he described as a need for rebuke or punishment. The threat follows Welker’s on-air assessment of the success rate of political candidates endorsed by Trump, which she characterized as having mixed results.
The proposed action against the journalist highlights ongoing tensions regarding media coverage of political endorsements. While the reports identify the specific catalyst for the statement, they note that the former president is seeking regulatory intervention in response to the journalist's reporting on his electoral influence.
