President Donald Trump bashed the Federal Communications Commission on Twitter for potentially killing the $3.9 billion megadeal between Sinclair Broadcast Group and Tribune Media.

Last week, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a Trump appointee, said he had "serious concerns" about the deal. The five-member commission then voted to refer the merger to an administrative hearing, the first step in a process to challenge the deal. Regulators expressed concern that they had been misled by Sinclair about some of the station divestitures the company had proposed.
