White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was not suspended because of Trump administration pressure but because of an ABC decision.

“The decision to fire Jimmy Kimmel and to cancel his show came from executives at ABC,” Leavitt said on Fox News’s “Saturday in America” on Sept. 20.
