Newsmax is under scrutiny after allegedly editing out parts of an interview with U.S. Senator Mike Lee, which focused on his criticism of Ukraine aid. Senator Lee expressed his discontent publicly, stating that this was an unprecedented action by a news network. Reports suggest that the decision to edit the interview was based on a directive from the top executives at Newsmax, with insiders claiming a network policy to censor opposition to Ukraine aid. Text messages have surfaced as evidence of the misleading communication about the interview topics. This incident has sparked a backlash among viewers and political commentators.

Newsmax cut an entire segment of my interview last night. No mention of Ukraine—even though part of the interview focused specifically on the supplemental. I’ve never had this happen with any news network, not like this. @ChrisRuddyNMX, what happened? https://t.co/Qb3BQ1Rpdx
