Disney sues Trump over ‘retaliatory’ war on Jimmy Kimmel and The View
The Walt Disney Company has filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, accusing his administration of waging a "retaliatory" campaign against its ABC network over the content of Jimmy Kimmel Live and The View. The suit reportedly names the Federal Communications Commission alongside Trump, suggesting Disney believes regulatory pressure has been used improperly to punish the broadcaster for programming critical of the president.
The dispute centres on claims that federal authority was directed at ABC because of remarks or coverage on the two shows that displeased Trump, rather than for any genuine regulatory concern. Full details of the legal filing, including the specific relief Disney is seeking and the precise allegations against the FCC, were not fully available in the source material.
