Mullin Blasts ABC, NBC for Skipping Trump Election Speech on 2 Broadcast Networks

Summary
Markwayne Mullin accused ABC and NBC of hiding information after both networks declined to air Trump’s Thursday election-security address on their broadcast channels.
ABC and NBC instead streamed the speech online, while CBS aired part before cutting away; Fox News carried it live in full, and CNN did not air it live.
Trump used the address to unveil previously classified intelligence on voting-system vulnerabilities and foreign efforts to obtain U.S. voter data, while urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act.
Trump also attacked the networks directly, saying they should risk license consequences for refusing the speech, though FCC licenses are issued to individual stations rather than national networks.
