President Trump says he will report NBC News “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), describing the action as seeking “rebuke or punishment.” He makes the comment in a Sunday posting on Truth Social and frames it as a response to Welker’s comments on the program about election results.
Multiple outlets report that Trump reacts to Welker’s remarks that Trump-endorsed candidates have seen mixed results in the current election cycle. The coverage emphasizes that the FCC is already involved in related legal and regulatory controversy, including a lawsuit brought by ABC that alleges regulatory retaliation. Deadline notes the broader context that the FCC is defending itself in that matter while Trump issues the threat toward Welker.
Across the articles, the core points remain consistent: Trump targets Welker personally, cites the “Meet the Press” discussion as the trigger, and links the FCC report to punitive or disciplinary intent rather than a neutral regulatory review.
