Description: The Trump administration is reportedly planning to review ABC owned stations broadcast licenses, even though they’re years away from being up for renewal. It’s widely believed this is in direct retaliation for Jimmy Kimmel’s late night joke saying Melania Trump was glowing like an “expectant widow.” White House spokesman Steven Cheung went so far as to post on X that Kimmel is a “sh*t human being” who should be shunned for the rest of his life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
