Eric Trump backs FCC probe into ABC over revised story, escalating media bias clash.
Context
What happened: Eric Trump backed a call by Sen. Bernie Moreno for an FCC probe into an ABC News report on Trump family investments tied to Anduril Industries. ABC deleted the story, then republished it Friday with a correction.
Key numbers: Original report claimed 1789 Capital acquired a stake in Anduril through a $2.5
Why it matters: Moreno asked FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to investigate who approved the story and whether ABC violated licensee obligations. The revised article dropped the original reporter's byline and clarified Trump Jr. does not sit on the firm's investment committee.
