Jimmy Kimmel moves James Talarico interview to YouTube citing FCC threats, White House denies claims

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel stated the FCC threatened ABC over his planned interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, prompting him to move the interview to YouTube instead of airing it on television. The White House denied any FCC threat, calling Kimmel's claim a false narrative. The interview was posted online and Talarico discussed his Senate campaign and criticized President Trump.
