Donald Trump attacked NBC journalist Kristen Welker and demanded a "rebuke or punishment" against her. The president's reaction came after Welker questioned him during an interview at the White House.
Anna Gomez, a Democratic member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), responded on Sunday through a post on social media platform X. Gomez stated that the FCC "cannot punish journalists this administration doesn't like," rejecting Trump's demands against the journalist.
Trump's attack on Welker generated controversy over press freedom in the United States. Gomez's position at the FCC, the agency responsible for regulating communications in the country, was interpreted as a defense of journalistic independence against political pressure.
