Here is the rewritten news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Former US President Donald Trump has issued public warnings to Netflix, stating that he will impose “consequences” unless the company removes top Democrat Susan Rice from its board of directors.

According to reports, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently investigating a deal between WarnerMedia and Netflix. The investigation centers on whether the companies complied with antitrust laws.

Trump has demanded that Netflix fire Rice from its board, citing her involvement in the WarnerMedia-Netflix deal as a reason for his request.

Rice served as the National Security Adviser under former President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017. She is currently a member of Netflix’s board of directors.

The news comes amid heightened tensions between Trump and Netflix, with the former president frequently criticizing the streaming service on social media.

It remains unclear what specific “consequences” Trump has in mind for Netflix if they do not comply with his demands.
