Jimmy Kimmel back on TV – Trump threatens to complain

US President Donald Trump criticized the comeback of the moderator Jimmy Kimmel at the US television station ABC before the planned broadcast on Tuesday evening (local time)-and at the same time threatened with a possible legal approach against the broadcaster. He couldn’t believe that ABC Kimmel returned his job, he wrote Truth Social on his platform.

Trump claimed that Kimmel was a henchman of the Democrats, and he spoke of an “illegal campaign contribution” without precisely explaining or evidence of his allegations. “I think we will put ABC to the test in this regard,” he continued. The last time he went against the broadcasterhe paid him several million dollars. This time it sounds even more lucrative.

Trump repeatedly exerts pressure on the media and has already made several lawsuits against the US broadcaster, including ABC. The legal dispute was settled with a comparison in the millions.

Kimmel had accused the US government to politically use the murder of the activist Charlie Kirk. After a threat of the Trump-related media supervisory authority FCC with a license withdrawal for ABC, the broadcaster then announced the end of Kimmel’s show for “indefinite time” last week, which Trump described as “great news”.

In the United States, the process had fueled a debate about freedom of expression and press. Critics fear that the government will restrict it piece by piece and see in the case Cot Another proof of this.

The ABC mother Disney announced on Monday that the temporary shipment broadcast on Tuesday would go back to the air. However, two companies that belong to dozens of partner stations announced that the show did not show.
