New York (CNN Business) President Trump reportedly tried to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger. Earlier this week, the New Yorker reported that Trump instructed Cohn to file a lawsuit blocking the merger, an allegation that Nadler and Cicilline noted in their letters. "We write to underscore our serious concerns regarding allegations that President Trump attempted to interfere with antitrust law enforcement," the congressmen wrote. "As we have noted previously, White House interference in antitrust enforcement is unacceptable," they continued. "Antitrust enforcement must be guided by the rule of law, not wielded as a political weapon to reward friends and punish enemies."
