Trump pushed FBI to investigate anti-ICE demonstrators in LA, whistleblower claims
‘Using the FBI to target Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights directly undermines our nation’s foundational values,’ Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California says
What the coverage shows
Both NBC News and The Guardian US frame the story around a whistleblower complaint accusing the White House of pushing an unconstitutional FBI investigation into protesters. NBC keeps the focus on the allegation and, in one extract, adds that supervisors were told not to put things in writing, while The Guardian foregrounds Trump in its headline and is the only outlet here to mention Senator Alex Padilla and the White House denial in the extract.
