GOP senator calls for FCC probe of ABC News over Trump sons-Anduril 'political hit job'
GOP senator seeks FCC probe of ABC News over Trump sons-Anduril segment.
Context
What happened: Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-OH, asked the FCC to open a formal investigation into ABC News after it deleted and substantially revised a report involving President Donald Trump's sons and defense contractor Anduril Industries.
Key numbers: Original report claimed 1789
Why it matters: ABC News republished a revised article Friday acknowledging errors and clarifying that Trump Jr. does not serve on the firm's investment decision-making committee. The request comes amid an ongoing legal dispute between Disney and the FCC over the commission's review of ABC-owned station licenses.
