Trump threatens NBC journalist with punishment and bars press from G20
–
Neutral summary
US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he would report NBC journalist Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over her remarks about his “mixed results” in endorsing primary candidates, calling them a “deliberate inaccuracy.” In response, FCC Democrat Anna Gomez said the commission “has no authority to punish journalists this administration doesn’t like.” Separately, the US Treasury Department denied credentials to reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg for the G20 finance ministers meeting in Asheville, with Secretary Scott Bessent saying the decision was unrelated to journalists’ viewpoints.
