Ajit Pai says he was asked to keep quiet about the fact that a cyber attack his agency claimed happened never did.

Last year, a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) site for people to submit comments on the net neutrality repeal went down due to a flood of commenters last year. At the time, the organization, and its head Pai, told the public and congress that it was a targeted attack. This wasn’t true.
