Michael O'Rielly appeared before the House Communications subcommittee Thursday in what may have beenhis last as an FCC commissioner. He didn't offer any salacious tidbits on why his nomination for a third term wassuddenly withdrawn by President Trump. "I was informed that the president was withdrawing my nomination, as is his prerogative, by a very short phonecall," O'Rielly said in his written testimony. "I had no conversations with the White House on withdrawing my nomina-tion prior to that point and none since."
