ABC filed an unprecedented lawsuit against the FCC on Tuesday, claiming that its investigations are part of a “retaliatory campaign” to curb the network’s free speech.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., also seeks to halt a proceeding in which the agency and its chairman, Brendan Carr, demanded that it put its eight stations up for early license renewal.
“Acting through the Federal Communications Commission, the Administration has waged a retaliatory
campaign against ABC for a single reason: it disapproves of what ABC broadcasts,” the lawsuit stated.
More to come.
