Former President Donald Trump demanded Netflix remove former National Security Advisor Susan Rice from its board of directors. Trump issued the demand via social media and warned of unspecified consequences if the company fails to comply.
The demand follows Rice’s recent podcast comments suggesting corporations that support Trump could face accountability if Democrats regain power. This political pressure coincides with Netflix’s reported pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery assets.
Any acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery assets would require federal regulatory approval. Netflix has not issued a public response to Trump’s demand.
