Trump threatens FCC action against ‘Meet the Press’ host
Trump says he will report NBC’s Kristen Welker to the FCC over her assessment of his endorsements, but the agency has limited power.
President Trump said Sunday that he intends to report NBC journalist Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission after she described the performance of candidates he endorsed in Republican primaries as producing mixed results. The president said the “Meet the Press” moderator should face a rebuke or punishment from the federal agency, though the FCC’s authority over the editorial decisions of individual journalists is sharply limited, Reuters reported.
