Bombshell claim alleges Trump was personally involved in Stephen Colbert’s late-night cancellation

A bombshell media claim alleges US President Donald Trump was personally involved in efforts linked to Stephen Colbert’s exit.

Longtime reporter Bill Carter suggests behind-the-scenes political pressure may have played a role.

Trump allies have not confirmed the allegation, while critics are already seizing on the claim as evidence of media influence.

The accusation adds fresh fuel to long-running tensions between Trump and Colbert.
