Media Matters blasts Trump 'threats' amid reported FTC probe

A liberal advocacy organization blasted President Trump’s administration’s “threats” amid a reported probe into the group by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 

The FTC opened the probe into Media Matters on Wednesday over whether it improperly coordinated with advertisers, multiple outlets reported Thursday. 

In a letter, which was seen by multiple news outlets, the FTC demanded communications between the progressive watchdog group and advertisers, its correspondence with other watchdog groups and copies of its budgets.
