As Newsline went to production, the FCC prepared for the departure of two commissioners. Commissioner Nathan Simington announced on Wednesday, June 4th, that he was leaving the post he has held since 2020 following his appointment by President Donald Trump. His announcement follows an earlier one from Commissioner Geoffrey Starks, a Democrat, that he would leave the FCC. Both departures were scheduled to happen by June 6th, meaning that with one other seat already left vacant, the president and US Senate must now fill three spots. Until then, the FCC will temporarily have one Republican and one Democratic commissioner each. Neither man's statement gave reasons for the departure.
