In November, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr expressed his wish to “take a very hard look” into Audacy’s new ties to billionaire George Soros. Carr appears to be making good on those plans, as House Republicans will reportedly receive an update on an FCC investigation today.
The Republican Study Committee, led by Representative August Pfluger (R-TX), will host Carr at its annual closed-door lunch, according to a source familiar with the planning. The RSC, the largest caucus within the House GOP, has played a key role in shaping conservative policy and has served as a platform for Trump administration officials engaging with lawmakers this year.
At that meeting, FOX News says Carr is expected to brief GOP lawmakers on an FCC probe into Soros and his influence on local radio. This includes a look at Laurel Tree Opportunities Corporation’s acquisition of more than 40% of Audacy’s senior debt during its Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring.
