Senator Hassan Presses FCC Chairman on President Trump’s Portrayal of the Press

Senator Maggie Hassan participated in a Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee hearing, where she pressed Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Ajit Pai, and FCC Commissioners Michael O’Reilly, Brendan Carr, and Jessica Rosenworcel on President Trump’s portrayal of the press as the “enemy of the people.” Senator Hassan’s questioning comes as nearly 350 newspapers across the country published editorials today decrying this rhetoric from the President and standing up for the freedom of the press.
