US Pres.-elect Donald Trump on Sunday nominated Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr as the agency's permanent chairman, with his term extending through 2029.

Carr has served at the FCC since 2012 and previously worked as an advisor to former Chairman Ajit Pai and as general counsel before his commissioner nomination in 2017. He is currently the agency's senior Republican under chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.

Carr has criticized Pres. Joe Biden for broadband internet expansion subsidies, while endorsing Elon Musk as a recipient of such subsidies. He's proposed that the next administration should involve the FCC in discussions concerning social media content management.

Carr, a former federal court clerk, said he will investigate major technology companies, including Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft, as well as fact-checking websites like NewsGuard for what he describes as "enforced one-sided narratives."

Following his nomination, Carr wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that the FCC under his leadership would "end its promotion" of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), stating that current leadership has made DEI its "second-highest" priority for its 2025 budget goals.

This comes as Trump has previously called for the revocation of certain broadcasting licenses, though the FCC's authority primarily extends to individual stations rather than networks.
