Trump Urges FCC to Penalize CBS Over Reporting

Donald Trump has publicly criticized CBS and its program 60 Minutes over segments they aired covering Ukraine and Greenland, demanding the network lose its broadcasting license. In a series of posts on Truth Social, he asserted that CBS's reporting was 'unlawful and illegal,' accusing the network of being a 'dishonest Political Operative' rather than a legitimate news outlet. The segments included an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who invited Trump to visit Ukraine to witness the war's impact. Trump claimed the war in Ukraine would not have occurred if he were still president, reiterating his belief that the 2020 election was 'rigged.' He also referred to a pending $20 billion lawsuit against CBS regarding an edited interview with Kamala Harris, alleging manipulation to support her campaign. Trump's comments reflect his ongoing attempts to exert influence over media regulation through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
