Donald Trump says 'let Jimmy Kimmel rot' and threatens to sue ABC -- again [View all]

Less than an hour before "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns from its controversial suspension, President Donald Trump seemingly threatened to sue ABC over its decision to bring back the late-night TV host on-air.

On Sept. 17, ABC shockingly revealed Jimmy Kimmel's show would be "pre-empted" indefinitely following outrage from the Federal Communications Commission Chairman, Brendan Carr, over comments the host made about Charlie Kirk's death, his politics and Trump's reaction to the fatal shooting. However, the Walt Disney Company announced Kimmel's show would return to air on Tuesday, Sept. 23, after "thoughtful conversations."

Ahead of Kimmel's highly anticipated monologue, the president took to Truth Social to share he was appalled by ABC's decision and insinuated he would file a lawsuit against the network.

"I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back," Trump wrote. "The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his 'talent' was never there."
