Trump threatened to revoke ABC’s license after reporter questioned him on Epstein and Saudi ties.

President Donald Trump erupted in anger during a White House meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, threatening to revoke ABC News’ broadcast license after reporter Mary Bruce questioned him about his family’s business ties and the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump labeled her a “terrible reporter,” accused ABC of being “fake news,” and urged FCC Chair Brendan Carr to investigate the network, despite no legal basis for such action. He dismissed U.S. intelligence findings linking the crown prince to the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and reiterated that the Epstein scandal is a “hoax.” The incident, marked by personal attacks and regulatory threats, intensified concerns over press freedom and the administration’s growing confrontations with the media.
