Trump Demands Netflix Oust Susan Rice, Warns of 'Consequences'

The demand lands during a high-stakes contest for Warner Bros. Discovery that will face federal review.

Overview

  • Trump posted on Truth Social that Netflix should remove board member Susan Rice immediately or face unspecified consequences.
  • Rice said on Preet Bharara’s podcast that companies, news organizations, and law firms that met Trump loyalty demands would be held accountable if Democrats return to power.
  • Trump amplified a post from influencer Laura Loomer, who urged action against Netflix and called to block a Netflix–Warner Bros. deal, according to reporting cited from the Financial Times.
  • Netflix did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Trump’s demand or Rice’s remarks.
  • Coverage notes the Warner Bros. Discovery sale process remains active, with the Financial Times reporting Warner reopened talks with Paramount Skydance and set a Monday deadline for a best-and-final offer to top Netflix’s $83 billion agreement, and any deal would require federal approval with past FCC pressure cited as context.
