Good Point
@Frank Cannon and the idiot Dems are right on it.
A top Democrat is worried Trump interfered in the government’s review of the AT&T-Time Warner dealIt comes amid reports that Trump is targeting CNN, which is owned by Time Warner.by Tony Romm@TonyRomm Jul 8, 2017, 1:07pm EDT A top Senate Democrat expressed fresh fears yesterday that President Donald Trump may have interfered with the U.S. government’s review of AT&T’s bid to buy Time Warner.
At issue is a report in The New York Times that suggested that Trump’s close aides have explored whether to use the deal as “leverage” against CNN, which is owned by Time Warner. The cable news network has covered Trump fiercely since his election, and the president has opened a full-on Twitter war against CNN’s reporting.
The government’s merger reviews, however, are supposed to be independent from political influence — and the potential for White House interference riled Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the leading Democratic lawmaker on her chamber’s top competition committee. In a letter sent to the Justice Department on Friday, she demanded the agency detail any conversations it’s had with Trump or other White House officials about AT&T, Time Warner and CNN.
