WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump will tap Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, he said in a statement on Sunday.
Carr is currently the top Republican on the FCC, an independent agency which regulates interstate and international communications.
He has been a supporter of Elon Musk’s efforts to win subsidies for broadband internet service and criticized NBC for letting Vice President Kamala Harris appear on “Saturday Night Live” just before the election.
