Trump calls for ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel; FCC initiates Disney license review

President Trump posted on Truth Social demanding ABC fire late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, following a joke Kimmel made about First Lady Melania Trump. The FCC, led by Trump-aligned chair Brendan Carr, subsequently ordered Disney into an early license renewal process for its ABC stations. Carr denied the review was prompted by Trump's pressure, while Disney has declined to comment and kept Kimmel under contract.
