US Senate committee to hold hearing for FCC nominee

By Reuters News

- The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing Nov. 10 on President Donald Trump's nominee to serve on the five-member Federal Communications Commission that is considering the fate of Walt Disney's DIS.N eight company-owned ABC stations.

Trump in August nominated Danielle Thumann Severs, who is a senior ​counsel to FCC Chair Brendan Carr, to serve on one of the ​two open seats on the commission. The FCC currently has two Republicans and one Democrat, Commissioner Anna Gomez. Trump fired two Democrats on the Federal ‌Trade ⁠Commission and dismissed numerous other Democrats and could potentially fire Gomez if Severs is confirmed.
