Overview
- Trump’s Truth Social post followed Rice’s podcast remarks warning of an "accountability agenda" for institutions that "take a knee to Trump," including document preservation and potential subpoenas.
- Trump amplified a post from conservative activist Laura Loomer, whose campaign against Rice and the Netflix–Warner Bros. deal has circulated widely among Republican commentators.
- Netflix did not immediately respond to requests for comment reported by multiple outlets, and no board change has been announced.
- The dispute unfolds as the Justice Department examines Netflix’s proposed purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal Trump has said he would leave to DOJ review after earlier signaling interest.
- Rice rejoined Netflix’s board in 2023 and serves on its nominating and governance committee, a detail critics have cited in pressing the company over governance and politics.
