The U.S. Justice Department has launched an investigation into five major television networks, including ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and Fox, concerning their recent decision to suspend pool coverage of Donald Trump following a White House media ban. The probe reportedly focuses on possible antitrust violations related to this coordinated boycott against the press pool. Legal experts have raised questions about the validity of the investigation, suggesting that the legal grounds for such a probe might be tenuous. This move comes as tensions escalate between the Trump administration and the media, with Trump claiming that it is illegal for these networks to not cover him. Critics argue that this inquiry represents a brazen attempt to intimidate journalists and silence dissent.
