Democratic FCC commission says Trump ABC threat would fail in court
Nov 20, 2025 11:58 AM

WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - A Democratic member of

the Federal Communications Commission said Thursday that calls

by President Donald Trump to urge the agency to rescind licenses

held by ABC stations would fail in court.

Trump said Tuesday that broadcasting licenses used by

affiliates of Walt Disney's ( DIS ) ABC should be "taken away"

after he disagreed with a question posed by a reporter for the

network. FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said any effort to revoke

licenses over a reporter's question would not pass legal muster.
