Trump reports NBC's Kristen Welker to FCC for 'rebuke and punishment'

Washington Examiner · back to the audit

President Donald Trump announced that he was reporting NBC News's Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission for "rebuke and punishment" over comments she made about his endorsement record.

In a Sunday post on Truth Social, Trump voiced his outrage over comments Welker made minutes before, when she said Trump had "mixed results" on his success rate in endorsing candidates in Republican primaries. As the president pointed out, his success rate is in the high 90s for the 2026 election cycle.

"Kristen Welker, the Unpopular 'Hostess' of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has 'mixed results' on his Endorsements of Candidates, when the recent WINS of Darline Graham and Mike Mazzei, stand at 100% for the U.S. Senate, and 98% for the U.S. House, recently and over the longterm. How can anyone be allowed to say this, working for freely given Public Airwaves?" Trump said with a graph and citations attached.
