Trump to Nominate Rosenworcel to Rejoin FCC

President Donald Trump plans to nominate Jessica Rosenworcel to again be an FCC member, as expected (see our May 26 report), the White House said just before midnight last night. It noted that she was a commissioner from 2012 until January.

The announcement didn't say anything about nominating a third Republican to join Chairman Ajit Pai and Commissioner Mike O'Rielly. The FCC didn't immediately comment.

Public interest lawyer Andrew Schwartzman emailed it's "odd to announce an appointment at 11:49 pm, but this is welcome news at any time of day."
