- The White House has told two U.S. House Democrats it will not turn over documents that could show whether Republican President Donald Trump sought to intervene in the regulatory review of AT&T Inc’s $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner Inc.
In March, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and Representative David Cicilline, who chairs a panel overseeing antitrust issues, asked the White House and Justice Department to turn over records after The New Yorker magazine reported Trump directed then-National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn to use the Justice Department to block the deal.
Trump criticized the deal as a candidate in late 2016, saying it would concentrate too much media power in the hands of one owner, and later saying it would raise prices. He has also frequently attacked CNN, a Time Warner property now owned by AT&T, for what he sees as negative coverage of his campaign and administration.
davidshepardson The policy of this administration is deny and/or obstruct any negative event or evidence of it.
davidshepardson Stop asking. Supoena everything.

davidshepardson I have no doubt that Donald Trump and everyone connected to his administration has done nothing wrong. I am equally confident ghost Richard Nixon is laughing his ass off. ItsNotTheCrime
