The White House condemned Donald Trump for promising to investigate NBCUniversal properties, specifically NBC News and MSNBC, if he returns to the presidency.
Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday that the networks should be investigated for "country-threatening treason" for pushing the since-debunked narrative that he colluded with Russia.
Trump also questioned why mainstream media companies were permitted to use the airwaves for free, calling them "a true threat to democracy" and "the enemy of the people." Andrew Bates, White House deputy press secretary and senior communications adviser, responded by noting that "freedom of the press" is a "fundamental" constitutional right.
It's not the first time Trump has considered an investigation of mainstream media organizations. He took aim at NBC's "Saturday Night Live" while in office in 2018.
