They called me to testify before Congress.. Here's What Happened.

Jim Acosta was called to testify before Congress at a Senate spotlight hearing led by Sen. Adam Schiff, where he warned lawmakers that the proposed Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger poses a direct threat to independent journalism. The deal — which would fold CNN into a media empire with deep ties to Trump — amounts to a "shakedown" that could push America toward state-controlled media.

NOTE FROM JIM: I, and my team, flew out to California for this hearing and paid our own way because we thought it was important to make sure the American people - you - knew exactly what we are up against with this administration and its battle against a free and independent press.
