The Democrats, Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York and Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, sent a letter last month seeking information in the wake of a New Yorker report saying that Trump directed his then-economic adviser Gary Cohn to block the $85 billion merger.
Time Warner has since been renamed WarnerMedia, which also includes networks such TNT and HBO, in addition to CNN.It is just the latest squabble in the growing list of spats between House Democrats and the Trump administration, which has rejected scores of requests for records that could lead to court battles testing the scope of Congress' oversight of the Executive Branch.
So if trump ignores an equal branch of gov't, it seems House should ignore him ...

brianstelter just had an long awaited orgasm i'm sure. Oh hell ,, i'm sorry ... you could say Trump stepped on an ant accidentally and he would erupt .
Nothing says conspiracy like refusing to comply with a congressional investigation.
pattmlatimes Transparency in the realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse fails again.
Dislike Trump, but screw these mergers. Mergers between major competitors is always bad for consumers.
Ok seriously. This administration is blocking everything. Breaking the law daily. Congress’s role is oversight for shits sake!!!
Waste of time and resources
Just another futile fishing exercise.
Another subpoena coming
Can’t wait for a Democratic president to do with the Santa thing to Republican Congress
Before they decided to pay Cohen? On Cohen payment he reportedly got 1/3 have to ask who got other 2/3?
We are waiting for documents on this 👇👇👇
We are waiting for documents on this 👇👇👇
So what...
Can Congress subpoena the President? How he is immune to every crime he committed? Yeas because reptards on Congress are impotent eunuchs to standup for morality, loyalty to this nation.
The WH will break any law necessary to protect Trump!
...'interesting' photo. MuellerReport tomorrow......... CNN
Subpoena it
Once again Democrats fishing for dirt instead of doing their jobs. Keeping the mental salivating at prospects. TDS is real
We are talking about the President who has a team of lawyers helping to block any/all requests. How can Congress perform its duty of oversight.
Democrats seem confused by minutiae. Don't they ever work?
With the credibility of the media displayed since Trump came on the scene , mergers like these may become a liability because they will become a powerful propaganda machinery
Well.... of Course. What else is new. The WH And Trump don't want total transparency, Only what will make Them look good and Others bad.
Obstruction again?
It should he blocked.
DirectTV is the worst company on the planet; owned by AT&T. Buying Time Warner is not the monopoly we need.
Just because someone is elected president of the United States, does not mean they have to share their entire lives to the general public. All you ppl wanting all this information that is clearly non of your business. What happens when ppl start demanding the same of you?
Wow they are really grasping for straws now. lol losers
So this time the Democrats are on the side of monopolies? That merger should never have been allowed to happen.
Stop. Asking. Nicely. Cut to the chase - issue subpoenas, hold them in contempt. You don't negotiate with terrorists.
If realDonaldTrump or anyone in the administration had nothing to do with the attempt, then like with so much that happens with this man (e.g. taxes. Mueller), one has to ask, what is he hiding? TranparencyMyAss
Imagine that! CorruptAdministration liar TrumpCrimeSyndicate TrumpCrimeFamilyMustGo LockHimUp realDonaldTrump
~ gosh i thought they’d be a lot more open to it.
CNN, your poll on who’s the front runner for 2020 is out of date. And please, it is an insult to all the democrats presidential candidates to have Biden name in your chart when he has not even confirm his candidacy. It’s pure bias. maddow cenkuygur EmmaVigeland AnaKasparian
But I'm sure there's nothing to hide.
All the Dems do is resist! They SUCK
Ofcourse lol
CoverUp
Fake news
When do they find time to serve the people that they were voted in for
TheDemocrats...Democrats...the only work they've had someone else do is get them elected...nothing since...
I left ATT screw them
The most corrupted administration in the history of USA.
Oh hell no! Trump was vocally opposed. I didn't see him do anything, but he trashed the idea, and I thought he told his guy to make sure it 'wasn't' illegal. Ha like he cares.
The occupants of this White House is so secretive, they do not even release the visitors’ log. The absolute lack of transparency should be suspect, and the House should be seeking all they want to hide. trumptrash
I have no idea what people expect at this point. The White House is never going to cooperate, because the Republicans will ALWAYS protect their pet project. What is the line for Constitutional Crisis?
I searched CNN to see if they still had a love affair with Michael Avenatti.. what happened... CNN .. Anderson, Don, Wolf, what happened you admired this man so much.. what happened... you never hold yourselfs accountable for fake news..
Bring the law down on these bitches!!
Hiding and deflecting again. So much for an innocent and exonerated man! 👎🤥🤥
That whole 'three co-equal branches of government' thing doesn't seem to be working when one branch is a dictator.
So what's he hiding this time?
Gee, why is the White House so constantly opposed to releasing information about policies they seem to claim are beneficial for Americans. If they actually were, you'd think they would be rushing to show off their brilliant strategies. SomethingToHIDE?
Hold trial...find guilty......repeat.
I think this a ploy by the Democrats to keep the minds of the American voters off of the border crisis, and other issues. No wonder nothing gets done down there.
Deny them everything. Resist both can play that game.
RepJerryNadler davidcicilline act on an article in the New Yorker and then CNN reports on it when their illegitimate request gets denied. It almost as if someone is making up these stories to keep you busy, make you look like fools!
and we are again surprised, why?
The entire world now knows what a crooked business man he has been all his life...if you cheat at golf you will cheat at anything..including your wives...
CNN Breaking News: Trump takes a 10 minute dump! Constipation or Collusion? We will get to the bottom of it!
Sooooo much corruption to hide.
Subpeona says what?
Tell the democraps to hit the road!
The slide towards autocracy continues unless the Dems start playing hardball. No more strongly worded letters. Subpoena these mfers. If they don't want to cooperate, hold them in contempt. If they're hindering an investigation, start making criminal referrals to DOJ. Enough!
Democrats won’t let him do a single thing without the, interfering truly amazing
Why get fooled into play second fiddle to his lousy tunes all the time. Man up and focus on kicking him out of the WH come 2020.
No collusion. hahaha
They will get what they need. Not all info comes from the Moscow traitors in the WhiteHouse
Good!!!
The White House rejects demands from House Democrats for any information or from Senate Democrats or House and Senate Republicans too!
What are they wanting to hide?
The WH sure says no a lot. It’s almost like they have things to hide...
Why would he want to block that
Sounds like we got a lot of crooked thugs in the White House
Party of obstructionism
Breaking News! Dems ask for something and Trump says NO!
Wonder what would happen if I refused to comply with a Congressional request? Granted that request will never come but, no one in America is above the law, not even the POTUS.
more abuse of power-fishing expeditions by dems to search for a crime to thwart we the voters' will. dems obsession to thwart our will r only infuriating n alienating us we the voters. get rid of trump? do it the american way: election.
Power and control.
Who are they 2 demand a fuckin' thing?
Because it will somehow hurt his personal financials
Can they reject? Is that possible? So the White House answers to nobody, because they keep blocking and rejecting. Terrifying.
Make him release his phone bill!
Which means realDonaldTrump tiny hands were all over it
Lock him up! Lock him up!
Well, then, time to issue a subpoena.
They can do that?
Yawn. Are we supposed to care?
this is something Democrats should applaud completely. like for example we all know that AOC does not support big business
That whole 'three co-equal branches of government' thing doesn't seem to be working when one branch is a dictator.
Sounds like something a guilty person would do...
Take it to court.
Most transparent administration ever huh?
The White House is a septic tank now
White House can’t reject impeachment
The witch Hunt continues
He should reject that crap
REFUSAL...always first sign of guilt..
Bc Trump would never try such a thing 😄
'Nothing to hide'...huh.
