Anna Gomez, a Democratic commissioner for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), on Sunday described President Trump’s threat to report NBC News’s Kristen Welker as “dangerous.”

Trump signaled the “Meet the Press” host could face an FCC probe after she reportedly said candidates he endorsed have received mixed results during the midterm primary cycle.
