The FCC's two Republican members refused to cooperate with a Congressional investigation into the agency's procedure for crafting the net neutrality rules, according to Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland). Cummings and other lawmakers are investigating whether President Obama, who publicly expressed support for the net neutrality regulations, improperly influenced the agency. "Although Democratic Members of the Commission have cooperated fully with our request, neither of you has produced a single responsive document to date, and even more concerning, your staff informed the Oversight Committee that you had not even begun to collect them," Cummings wrote to FCC Commissioners Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly.
