Trump Calls for ABC’s Broadcast License to Be Revoked

HeadlineNov 19, 2025

While hosting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House yesterday, President Trump called for ABC’s broadcast license to be revoked, after ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce asked him why he had not released the Epstein files.

Mary Bruce: “Mr President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?”

President Donald Trump: “You know, it’s not the question that I mind. It’s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It’s the way you ask these questions. … I think the license should be taken away from ABC, because your news is so fake, and it’s so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that, because I think when you come in and when you’re 97% negative to Trump and then Trump wins the election in a landslide, that means obviously your news is not credible, and you’re not credible as a reporter.”
