Trump threatens FCC complaint against NBC's Kristen Welker over endorsement remarks

President Donald Trump said on August 30 that he would file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against NBC journalist Kristen Welker, accusing her of inaccurate remarks about his candidate endorsements; FCC members responded that the commission lacks authority to punish a journalist. Earlier that day, Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that he intended to report Welker to the FCC, repeating the allegation of misreporting. A prior CNBC report had noted the president's threat and also mentioned that the Treasury Department had denied credentials to several newspaper reporters for the G20 summit.
