Lawmakers aren't particularly impressed by reports that the Trump FCC made up several DDOS attacks to downplay massive public opposition to their net neutrality repeal, then repeatedly lied to reporters trying to get to the bottom of the scandal. A report by Gizmodo this week noted that the agency made up the attack after the FCC website collapsed under the load of angry citizens that had just watched HBO Comedian John Oliver's 2017 report on net neutrality, apparently hoping to downplay massive public anger at Trump FCC policies.
