President Trump will sign a bill repealing the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) broadband privacy rules, the White House said Thursday.

The White House had previously issued its support for the bill , noting that "if S.J.Res. 34 were presented to the President, his advisors would recommend that he sign the bill into law."

A White House official confirmed to The Hill that Trump planned to sign the bill. It was first reported by Reuters.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer during Wednesday's briefing did not say whether Trump would sign the bill.

The House on Tuesday passed the legislation, which would get rid of the consumer data protections approved by the FCC under Obama.
