Trump nominates Brendan Carr to lead FCC as he interviews Treasury Secretary candidates at Mar-a-Lago

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brendan Carr, currently a commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to be the new chairman. Carr is known for his support of free speech and has been involved in the controversial Project 2025 manifesto. Trump's choice reflects a shift towards a more aggressive regulatory stance, as Carr has indicated a willingness to target broadcast licenses of networks that Trump opposes. This nomination is part of Trump's broader strategy to reshape media regulation. Additionally, Trump is set to interview candidates for Treasury Secretary at his Mar-a-Lago residence. Former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh and billionaire Marc Rowan are among those being considered.
