FOIA Records Show FCC Chair Carr Held at Least Eight White House Meetings in Under a Year

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr attended at least eight White House meetings and held three scheduled calls with Trump administration officials — including chief of staff Susie Wiles and Health Secretary RFK Jr. — between March 2025 and February 2026, per records obtained via a Democracy Forward FOIA lawsuit. The FCC is structured as an independent agency. Carr has declined to discuss White House communications.
