WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that broadcasting licenses used by affiliates of Walt Disney’s ABC should be “taken away” after he disagreed with a question posed by a reporter for the network in the Oval Office.

Trump made the comment after a reporter for ABC News asked Trump about the Jeffrey Epstein political scandal during an Oval Office event with the Saudi crown prince.
