| Trump and AT&T; Kushner and Axios; Chernin and the ACLU; Apple and podcasts; Tiananmen 30 years later; new 'Jeopardy!' champion Posted: 03 Jun 2019 08:09 PM PDT Monday's escalation by Trump was new, yet wholly unsurprising. He suggested a boycott of CNN's parent company AT&T. Details here... Trump suggests a boycott of AT&T to punish CNN
We all know that President Trump has been engaged in a years-long effort to punish CNN for its news coverage. His biggest fans may insist it's justified, but there's no doubt about what he has been doing. That's why Monday's escalation was new, yet wholly unsurprising. He suggested a boycott of CNN's parent company AT&T -- the idea being that if enough people cancelled their AT&T subscriptions, "they would be forced to make big changes at CNN." | |
The NYT's Peter Baker framed Trump's tweets this way: "The president of the United States just called for an economic boycott of one of the country's largest telecommunications firm as a way of pressuring a media organization to cover him in a way that he approves of."
And a team from the WaPo followed up by calling historians who were floored by Trump's conduct. Key graf: "Historians struggled to cite an equivalent threat even from presidents such as Richard Nixon renowned for their hostility toward the press. Less democratic nations with more tenuous press freedoms often use government regulatory power, criminal investigations or tax audits to punish news organizations seen as providing unflattering coverage, but past U.S. presidents rarely have taken such public shots at the businesses of the owners of major American news organizations, historians said."
AT&T's reaction to Trump: a shrug
Two years ago, when everyone was still adjusting to Trump's abuse of his presidential platform, Trump's tweets would have caused some consternation at CNN and AT&T. But Monday's reaction amounted to a shrug. AT&T's spokesman declined to comment on Trump's provocation and went about his day. Notably, shares in AT&T surged in early trading and closed up 1.67% for the day, outperforming the wider market.
-- Here's the thing: AT&T execs expected that Trump would single out the company for its ownership of CNN at some point, according to a source familiar with the matter. So Monday's tweets were predictable. Not startling at all. And there are no signs that customers are abandoning AT&T on Trump's signal. Here's my full story...
-- Bottom line: As is so often the case in the Trump years, his tweets shattered norms but were not taken very seriously. I mean, as a presidential candidate he called for a boycott of Apple. Nothing came of it. No one really even remembers it...
While on foreign soil...
Trump was evidently inspired to tweet about AT&T when he landed in the United Kingdom for his state visit and tuned into CNN. He repeated a complaint he has lodged in the past: That CNN has a dominant worldwide footprint, informing people around the world about American politics. It's "all negative & so much Fake News, very bad for U.S.," he wrote. "Big ratings drop. Why doesn't owner @ATT do something?"
One of the Democratic candidates for president, Amy Klobuchar, called out Trump for his conduct. "The President is on foreign soil advocating boycotting an American company because the press isn't covering him favorably. Un-be-lievable," Klobuchar wrote.
And PEN America, an organization that represents writers and journalists and is suing Trump on First Amendment grounds, said his boycott suggestion "makes plain the self-serving, insidious nature of his attacks on the media and his total disregard for the principle of press freedom."
So, that's how Trump started his day on Twitter. Here's how he ended his day...
"House just passed the 19.1 Billion Dollar Disaster Aid Bill. Great, now we will get it done in the Senate! Farmers, Puerto Rico and all will be very happy."
Numerous journalists and others responded by pointing out that, um, the Senate already passed the bill. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer replied: "President @realDonaldTrump, you're clearly confused. The Senate passed the bill two weeks ago. Hopefully after blocking it for so long, you're not too confused to sign it!"

Co-author of controversial NYT Biden-Ukraine story is hired as Ukraine president's spokesperson
Oliver Darcy emails: How about this twist of irony: The co-author of a controversial NYT story that suggested Joe Biden had a conflict of interest as vice president for ousting a Ukrainian prosecutor, appears to have had her own conflict of interest. Iuliia Mendel, who co-wrote the May 1 story for NYT as a freelancer, in addition to another about Ukrainian politics on May 20, announced on Monday she had joined the Ukrainian gov't as spokesperson for the president.
The move raised no shortage of eyebrows because the May 1 story she had co-authored with Ken Vogel had received significant scrutiny from Biden allies and other critics who felt NYT had been used to print a story Trump's allies had been pushing. A Biden spox declined to comment to me on Monday, but Symone Sanders, a senior advisor to Biden's campaign and a former CNN contributor, tweeted, "The fact that the NYTs acted as a willing agent for the Trump White House's lies and defended the paper's publishing of them, makes this even more eyebrow raising. Have folks learned ANYTHING from the last presidential election?"
NYT says it stands by "fair and accurate" reporting
Darcy adds: NYT spokesperson Ari Isaacman Bevacqua said in a Monday evening statement that the newspaper learned last week that Mendel had applied on May 3 -- two days after the controversial Biden story had been published -- for the position as spokesperson for Ukraine's president. Referring to the May 20 story Mendel wrote, Bevacqua said, "Had she informed editors of her job application, they would not have given her that assignment and we would have stopped working with her immediately given this serious conflict of interest."
BUT, Bevacqua added that editors "are confident" that "despite the conflict that should have been disclosed," Mendel's reporting, including the controversial May 1 story, "was fair and accurate."
"Here come the Feds"
That was the headline on Michael Nathanson's Monday afternoon note to clients about "press reports today that the U.S. government is examining BOTH Facebook and Alphabet over competition concerns."
Some major papers are leading Tuesday's front page with the news. WSJ: "Congress, Agencies Target Tech Giants Over Competition." NYT: "Tech Titans Face Tough Scrutiny From All Sides." Here's the sweeping lead from the NYT's Cecilia Kang, David Streitfeld and Annie Karni: "The federal government is stepping up its scrutiny of the world's biggest tech companies, leaving them vulnerable to new rules and federal lawsuits... After a spate of unusual negotiations, the Justice Department has agreed to handle potential antitrust investigations related to Apple and Google, while the Federal Trade Commission will take on Facebook and Amazon." AND "lawmakers in the House said on Monday that they were looking into the tech giants' possible anti-competitive behavior."
-- Reuters has the ad biz angle: "U.S. probe of Google's online ad dominance would appease long suffering rivals, publishers..."
About the House probe...
Rhode Island Democratic Rep. David Cicilline, who's leading the investigation, "said it is aimed less at specific companies than at the 'tremendous concentration of market power' held by Silicon Valley's most dominant platforms," CNN's Brian Fung reported Monday. "Key areas for the investigation include the tech industry's impact on local journalism, consumer privacy and the ability for new startups to enter the marketplace, according to Cicilline."
>> Fung noted that this probe is "partly a shot at the antitrust agencies..." Cicilline said "I don't have a lot of confidence that these agencies will get the job done..."
WWDC headlines | | Heather Kelly has "everything Apple announced at WWDC, from Apple sign-in to dark mode." As expected, Apple is phasing out iTunes and replacing it "with three separate apps that are familiar to iOS users: Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts." But the iTunes Store app will still exist on mobile.
The WSJ wrote the news as an actual obit: "Apple iTunes, the Mac music software that first connected the iPod to millions of computers, died on Monday at age 18. The brand will remain in fragments across Apple's products." EIC Matt Murray quipped, "One of the most eagerly awaited obituaries we have ever run..."
Cook's privacy pitch on CBS
"Privacy is, again, at the center of Apple's sales pitch," Kelly noted. "Apple is launching its own login platform called Sign in with Apple, which will let you log in to outside apps with FaceID. It has the option to hide your real email address and instead give each app a randomly generated email address."
Tim Cook talked about this in an interview with CBS's Norah O'Donnell after his keynote.
Key quote: "I think that everybody's beginning to care more – people are becoming more aware of what's been happening. Many people are getting more offended. I think this is good. Because we need to shine a light on it. You can imagine an environment where everyone begins to think there's no privacy. And if there's no privacy, your freedom of expression just plummets. Because now you're going to be thinking about how everybody's going [to] know every single thing you're doing. This is not good for our country, not good for democracy."
Big news for podcasters
NiemanLab's Joshua Benton monitored WWDC and wrote about all the implications for the media biz. Check out his recap here. "The biggest news for podcasts — which was presented as part of the new Mac app but which I have to imagine will also be available on mobile — is full-text podcast search," he wrote. "Apple will now use machine learning (of course) to index the spoken content of all the podcasts in its database and make it searchable." This seems big!
"Imagine being able to search for a person's name and find every podcast episode she's ever been a guest on or even mentioned on," Benton wrote. "We'll see what search is like in practice, but it could be like Google Search for one of the most opaque forms of popular media."
| | "Jared talked to Axios"
Jonathan Swan's questioning of Jared Kushner reverberated all day long on Monday... a clear win for Axios and its partnership with HBO. CNN's Chris Cillizza has a list of the 29 "most eyebrow-raising lines" from the interview here.
Some of the discussion on cable was about why Kushner was so unprepared. Kaitlan Collins reported on Jake Tapper's show that the interview "caught the eye of a lot of people inside the West Wing today, Jake, who were asking me about how he seemed ill-prepared to answer these questions that seemed like pretty obvious questions he was going to get, especially about the Saudi crown prince, and they were kind of surprised why he did this interview."
I thought it was revealing when Trump was asked about the interview on Sunday night, on his way out of the country. "Mr. President," a reporter asked, "are you willing to say that MBS is responsible for Khashoggi's death?"
"When did this come up again?" Trump said. "What are you, back — are you back —"
"Jared," the reporter said. "Jared talked to Axios."
Trump: "Are you back — what — 4 months ago? No."
What about next time?
Monday's "AC360" led with Swan asking Kushner if he'd alert the FBI if Russians again offered dirt on a Trump rival, and Kushner saying "I don't know."
Watch Jeffrey Toobin's reaction: "The Trump universe obviously thinks that it is perfectly appropriate to get the help of foreigners to win presidential elections. That's illegal."

Tiananmen Square at 30 years
An Phung emails: It's no secret to the west that there is a whole generation of Chinese millennials who have no idea what happened on June 4, 1989. Thanks to the Great Firewall and a strong grip on the press, many Chinese citizens in the Middle Kingdom have no clue that Liberation Army tanks swept through Beijing's Tiananmen Square that day and killed throngs of peaceful protestors. Thirty years later, with an internet that is becoming increasingly porous, I wonder how long China's communist party can keep the massacre a secret and how young Chinese will reckon with their past. I wondered this in the days leading up to the 30th anniversary on Tuesday as media outlets around the world published columns and anniversary stories. Here is CNN's story as well as some other coverage that really stood out to me:
-- Photos of the Tiananmen Square Protests Through the Lens of a Student Witness (NYT)
-- Louisa Lim's column for the New York Times: "After Tiananmen, China Conquers History Itself" (NYT)

"There is a business plan, but it's in Alex Jones' head"
Oliver Darcy emails: It's not every day that we get a peek inside Infowars. But a court document submitted last week in a lawsuit filed by Sandy Hook families against Alex Jones includes four depositions that shed light on the inner workings of the fringe media organization. The depositions about Infowars' business model are relevant as the Sandy Hook families alleged in their lawsuit that Jones and Infowars "concoct elaborate and false paranoia-tinged conspiracy theories because it moves product and they make money" and "not because they truly believe what they are saying, but rather because it increases profits."
Some of the key things we learned from the depositions...
>> Being banned from social media "has hurt" Infowars "with acquisition of new customers." That's according to Jones' father. But he said loyal customers are continuing to shop.
>> Jones runs every aspect of Infowars. According to Jones' father, there is "probably not" a written business plan. "There is a business plan but it's in Alex Jones' head," he said at one point. Another employee, "InfoWars Nightly News" director Robert Dew, explained "everything goes through Alex."
>> Prior to being banned, Facebook was one of the top referral websites to InfoWars, according to Timothy Fruge, the business operations manager for Infowars' parent company. Another top referrer? The Drudge Report...
Chernin urging moguls to help the ACLU fight anti-abortion bills
Peter Chernin's email to fellow Hollywood heavyweights: "I am launching a campaign to contribute to the $15 million that is needed to fund the A.C.L.U.'s legal efforts to battle the national anti-abortion effort... We have a moral responsibility to act immediately."
The NYT's Brooks Barnes and Cara Buckley obtained the email and wrote about the fundraising drive. "Recipients included senior executives at all of the major movie studios, as well as entertainment power players like Jeff Bezos, Ari Emanuel, Ted Sarandos, Tim Cook and Shonda Rhimes..."
Carter: Hollywood's stance against Georgia isn't as tough as it seems
Bill Carter's latest column for CNN Business is about the Hollywood studios that say they will rethink production in Georgia if the state's effective ban on abortion is upheld by the courts. "How serious a threat this really is will depend ultimately on a contest of principle versus commerce, a battle that is almost always hugely one-side," Carter writes. "Because in 'show business,' the general rule is: 'show' may come first in the title, but the business end is 'business.'"
He says "the studios can denounce it now safely, without any impact on their bottom lines," while the courts review the bill in Georgia and elsewhere. Read on...

Holzhauer falls | | James Holzahauer was THIS CLOSE to breaking the all-time "Jeopardy!" earnings record. "But he fell short in his 33rd straight game -- even though he had the right answer," CNN's A.J. Willingham wrote.
Holzahauer tipped his hat to Emma Boettcher, writing, "CONGRATULATIONS to Emma on a world-beating performance. There's no greater honor than knowing an opponent had to play a perfect game to defeat me." And he sent a tweet to Ken Jennings that said: "You win this round. But if Jeopardy ever gives me 43 second chance games, look out!"
How long til "Jeopardy!" invites Holzahauer and Jennings to face off for a special champions round?
About the leak...
Some fans were understandably disappointed that Monday's outcome leaked on social media over the weekend. I have no doubt the producer and syndicator are investigating. But look at it this way: It's amazing the end of the streak didn't leak sooner!
Former "Jeopardy!" researcher Carlo Panno emailed me to point this out: "When Jennings lost, the word got out immediately and Jeopardy! re-recorded the show openings to remove the win count to keep interest high." This time around, "the current season of Jeopardy! wrapped on April 17. They managed to keep it quiet for a month and a half, and it looks like the news only got out after the weekend satellite distribution of this week's shows."

| | The network chiefs speak
Brian Lowry emails: The Hollywood Radio and Television Society hadn't hosted a network chiefs luncheon in a decade, which made Monday's event something of an occasion. But the representatives of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox seemed content not to make much news, other than issuing a collective "We're not dinosaurs" defense of their medium.
ABC's Karey Burke touted the unique reach -- even today -- of the broadcast networks, while CBS' Kelly Kahl said the networks need to "push back" on reporting about their declining ratings, given other metrics that are now at work, and "stop apologizing." NBC's Lisa Katz, for example, said the comedy "The Good Place" rises to become the network's fourth-most-watched show when 35 days of delayed viewing are added up, the kind of a measuring stick that's rarely if ever mentioned. "For us, it's about the long tail on some of these shows," Burke said.
Fox's Michael Thorn, meanwhile, said it was too soon to assess the impact of the ongoing standoff between the Writers Guild of America and major talent agencies, and while the execs said they had come through writer staffing season reasonably well, all of them expressed hope that the matter would be resolved relatively quickly...
Lowry's review of "The Handmaid's Tale" season premiere
Brian Lowry emails: As Sunday's "Reliable Sources" underscored, "The Handmaid's Tale" returns at a moment that has made the Hulu drama extraordinarily relevant, with the anti-abortion legislation being passed in Georgia and elsewhere heightening the temptation to compare Gilead to modern-day America. There are obvious benefits, promotionally speaking, in the show having become such a powerful symbol, but also burdens, and risks, built into that status. Read on...

| BREAKING NEWS: House overcomes GOP objections and clears disaster bill Posted: 03 Jun 2019 04:06 PM PDT House Democrats finally managed to pass a $19.1 billion disaster relief bill Monday, sending the measure on to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it. The 354-58 vote came after Republican conservatives blocked the bill from advancing on three separate occasions while lawmakers were away last week on recess — an appropriately acrimonious legislative finale after months of partisan discord. Once it's law, the bill, H.R. 2157 (116), will unlock billions of dollars in grant funding and reimbursement cash for communities still recovering from hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, extreme flooding, wildfires and typhoons.

| Trump moves on Silicon Valley Posted: 03 Jun 2019 02:16 PM PDT Evening Briefing | The U.S. technology industry is girding for sweeping antitrust probes as the Trump administration targets Silicon Valley's best-known names. The Federal Trade Commission will investigate Facebook and Amazon while the Justice Department is to open an inquiry into Google. Shares of the companies tumbled. —Josh Petri Here are today's top stories First trade, then tech—now talent. The Trump administration is taking aim at some of China's best and brightest. China's Education Ministry issued a warning Monday about the risks of studying in America as student visa rejections soar. The Fed may need to cut interest rates to counter economic risks from President Donald Trump's trade war, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said. For years, Tesla has made cash by selling credits to other carmakers that needed to offset sales of polluting vehicles. These transactions have been shrouded in secrecy—until now. Trump called on the U.K. to throw off the "shackles" of EU membership and ink a free-trade deal with the U.S. On the first day of a three-day trip to the U.K., he also decided to personally attack the mayor of London. The last vestiges of the Virgin America brand are now aviation history, bringing a formal end to Richard Branson's brash, groundbreaking effort to put some European flair into U.S. skies. Apple previewed the new Mac Pro at its annual developer conference on Monday. Users have complained for years about the current version. The computer stand alone costs $999. What's Tracy Alloway thinking about? The Bloomberg executive editor spent the weekend reading China's white paper explaining its "Position on the China-U.S. Economic and Trade Consultations." She was struck by the way two of China's biggest sensitivities seem to be combined: An infringement of its sovereignty by a foreign player, and a threat to China's attempts to become a technological powerhouse. What you'll need to know tomorrow What you'll want to see tonight in Bloomberg Photos Trump arrived in the U.K. at a sensitive moment, with political rivals jostling to replace outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May. While the first day of his visit featured pomp and circumstance, tomorrow brings political talks and potentially large demonstrations on the streets of London. There have already been scattered protests, and the Trump Baby blimp has returned, both in physical and projected form on the White Cliffs of Dover.  Like Bloomberg's Evening Briefing?

| BREAKING NEWS: Democrats open antitrust probe of tech industry Posted: 03 Jun 2019 02:05 PM PDT House Democrats on Monday launched a sweeping antitrust investigation of the nation's largest tech companies, including Google and Facebook, opening a new front against an industry that's increasingly under siege in Washington. The action comes amid signs that the Trump administration is preparing to apply more scrutiny to the nation's tech giants, with the DOJ claiming jurisdiction over Google and Apple, and the Federal Trade Commission doing the same with Amazon and Facebook.

| Like a trade war, but for Apple, Facebook and Google Posted: 03 Jun 2019 01:34 PM PDT Bloomberg Opinion Today Today's Agenda  Strange New World for Corporate America President Donald Trump has opened an odd new front in the trade war: siccing his government on America's own tech giants. It may be merited and have bipartisan appeal, but the timing is awkward. The first warning shot came on Friday, with news the DOJ will soon launch an antitrust probe of Alphabet Inc.'s Google. Some might read this as just more Trumpian bluster, not unlike his tweet attacking AT&T Inc., which the market laughed off, sending AT&T shares higher. But Google must take the threat of potential action very seriously, writes Shira Ovide. It only narrowly avoided antitrust consequences back in 2013, she notes, and the political tides have turned against it since then. Today we learned the Federal Trade Commission will probe Facebook Inc.'s business practices. And Reuters reported the DOJ might give Apple Inc. its own antitrust exam. The headlines crushed the Nasdaq and shaved billions from the valuations of the very tech titans that led the market to record highs in recent years. Ramesh Ponnuru suggests Facebook and others accused of bias might cool Trump's ire with more transparency about how they regulate content. But the winds have clearly shifted for companies that were recently the darlings of Corporate America. The same is true for the multinational companies that thrived along with globalization; Trump's trade war has turned their world upside down, writes David Fickling. From Chinese scrutiny of American firms to the scrambling of intricate global supply chains, sticking close to home looks more appealing all the time, David writes. That may help explain why the Blackstone Group is buying up U.S. warehouse space, notes Brooke Sutherland: Trade war or no, e-commerce isn't going away, and those products need warehousing whether they're made in Guangdong or Grand Rapids. Strategy? We Don't Need No Stinking Strategy When dismissing the growing damage from the trade war, Trump supporters, and some neutral observers, suggest Trump must have a grand strategy for it all, one that will win in the end and make everybody happy. But Trump's only strategy is whatever gets his goat at any given moment; he was not strategic in business and isn't now, writes Tim O'Brien. Trump's random lashings-out are simply driven by his frustrated desire to influence people and phenomena he doesn't fully understand, Tim writes. The backlash is usually significant and often catches the president by surprise. China isn't rolling over as easily as Trump might have expected, for example, as embodied by the coded message a Chinese TV anchor wore during a recent Fox interview, note Fei Bo and Andrew Browne. Trump's attacks on Mexico, meanwhile, are self-defeating, writes Shannon O'Neil: Mexico can't stop illegal immigration, and Trump's flailing moves so far have made the problem worse. Mexico can retaliate in the trade war, hurting swing-state economies and making Trump's reelection far harder, Shannon writes. Further Trade-War Reading: Stop Hitting Yourself, Markets Trade and tech hurt stocks today, while bonds rallied hard, driving interest rates lower. Bonds are now priced for at least two Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. But Brian Chappatta suggests the bond market is not perfectly prescient. After all, the economy still looks pretty good and we don't know exactly how badly the trade war will hurt it. But investors could turn their worries into a self-fulfilling prophecy, warns Mohamed El-Erian. Panicky markets hammer sentiment and put the Fed in an impossible situation, demanding rate cuts that may not be necessary. For now, though, for better or worse, the Fed seems to be ignoring the market, writes Jim Bianco. Further Jittery Market Reading: Negative yields are a headache for the ECB, which never got to normalize policy and now faces fresh weakness. – Mark Gilbert Beware Trumps Bearing Trade Deals While all of this was happening, Trump was hobnobbing with the Queen of England, the first stage of a U.K. trip that might include meetings with top Brexiteers Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. Trump has made clear he loves Brexit and its most famous proponents, writes Therese Raphael. Today he promised a "big Trade Deal is possible once U.K. gets rid of the shackles" of the EU. But the U.K. should be wary of such a deal, Therese warns; the U.S. probably won't make Brexiteers any happier than the EU. Telltale Charts OPEC has given non-member Russia too much power, when it really hasn't earned the right, writes Julian Lee. It may be time to end the OPEC+ pact to cut production.  Don't dismiss the idea that Africa could be the next China, writes Noah Smith; a manufacturing boom is still possible.  Further Reading Trump's rationale for adding an immigration question to the 2020 Census isn't legit. The Supreme Court must stop this destructive policy change. – Bloomberg's editorial board Raising $100 billion won't be as easy this time for Masayoshi Son. – Tim Culpan Instagram's new Checkout feature threatens Amazon.com Inc. via luxury sales. – Andrea Felsted A Deutsche Bank-UBS merger might make sense, but will take a crisis to actually happen. – Elisa Martinuzzi Benjamin Netanyahu's rough political tactics come back to haunt him. – Zev Chafets Israel shouldn't help Saudi Arabia spy on its citizens. – Eli Lake Whether they impeach or not, Democrats must daily fight Trump's efforts to obscure the truth. – Francis Wilkinson ICYMI Tesla Inc.'s secret cash sources are revealed. Jared Kushner has thoughts on the Palestinians. Cruise ships are the worst, Venice edition. Kickers Ancient chess piece found. Bark shield is surprisingly hard. (h/t Scott Kominers for the first two kickers) Drinking water is sitting in pipes too long. Tony Soprano's house is for sale.

| Violence against Indigenous women and girls form of "genocide": MMIW Report Posted: 03 Jun 2019 01:30 PM PDT | The report, the culmination of a three-year effort often beset by controversy, delays and personnel problems, documents what Buller calls “important truths” — including that Canadian laws and institutions are themselves to blame for violating the human rights of Indigenous Peoples. Legal Aid Ontario is both a lifeline for the province’s most vulnerable and marginalized people, and an overburdened, under-resourced system that can’t keep up with “extraordinary” demand, said one representative. Environment Canada issued tornado warnings in eastern Ontario and western Quebec after someone spotted a twister near the Gatineau Airport just before 6 p.m. During the game, Obama was seated next to NBA commissioner Adam Silver, and were some of the few fans not wearing We The North jerseys. Though that doesn’t necessarily mean the former president wasn’t there for the Raptors. 👍 You're all set. Have a great day. HuffPost is now part of Verizon Media Group.

| BREAKING NEWS: House Dems to hold Barr, Ross in contempt over census question Posted: 03 Jun 2019 01:26 PM PDT The House Oversight and Reform Committee is moving to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for defying the panel's subpoena for information about efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. "Unfortunately, your actions are part of a pattern," Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) wrote to Barr and Ross in separate letters. "The Trump administration has been engaged in one of the most unprecedented cover-ups since Watergate, extending from the White House to multiple federal agencies and departments of the government and across numerous investigations." Cummings said he would consider postponing the contempt votes if Barr and Ross turn over the requested documents by Thursday, June 6.
