President Donald Trump tried to pressure the Department of Justice into blocking AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner Inc., according to a new report by The New Yorker. However, White House staff apparently ignored the president’s orders to pressure the DOJ, and it’s not clear whether Trump ever made any demands to the DOJ directly.
The New Yorker report—titled “The Making of the Fox News White House”—details Trump’s close relationship with Fox and his disdain for Fox competitors that provide less-glowing news coverage of his presidency.
