Rhode Island: Yorker Report and Jerry Nadler

rhode island: Jerry Nadler of New York and Rep, according to CNN. 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. The Democrats, Rep. Nadler and Cicilline contended that White House interference in anti-trust enforcement is unacceptable and is similar to circumstances in the Nixon administration, as they requested communications between Trump and senior White House officials over the merger. White House snubs to Congress leave Republicans as well as Democrats aghast We cannot, however, provide the Committee with protected communications between the President and his most senior advisers that are at the very core of the Executive Branch's confidentiality interests, White House counsel Pat Cipollone said in the letter. But the White House sent a letter dated Monday to the Democrats turning down the request, arguing that robust confidentiality protections are essential for the proper functioning of the Presidency.
