--U.S. Representative David Cicilline (D-RI) said he and House
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) received a
letter from the White House counsel saying the administration
wouldn't hand over documents the two request pertaining to what
role, if any, President Donald Trump played in a review of AT&T
Inc.'s (T) acquisition of Time Warner, Inc., Reuters reported
Tuesday.
--The two lawmakers made the request last month, following a
media report that alleged the president asked a White House
official to get the Justice Department to intervene and try to
block the deal, the report said.
--In the letter, White House counsel Pat Cipollone said he
wouldn't give "protected communications between the president and
his senior advisers that are the very core of the executive
branch's confidentiality interests," the report said.
