The Federal Communications Commission’s chairwoman slammed former president Donald Trump on Thursday for suggesting that CBS’s broadcast license be revoked because the network edited Vice President Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview to make one of her answers appear more concise and less confusing.

After his criticism of the editing of a “60 Minutes” interview, the FCC chair said Trump’s “threats against free speech are serious and should not be ignored.”

America’s top broadcasting regulatory body, the Federal Communications Commission, has denounced Donald Trump after the former US president demanded that CBS be stripped of its licence for airing an edited answer in a primetime interview with Kamala Harris.
