(CNN) House Democrats are threatening to take further action if the Trump administration does not comply with their request for information about how the Department of Justice decided it would argue in court that the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional.

In new letters to the Department of Justice and White House Counsel's office, five Democratic Committee chairman argue that they still have not received any documents pertaining to their April request for information.

"We requested that you produce eight categories of documents relating to the White House's involvement in this sudden and extremely troubling reversal," five Democratic Chairmen, Elijah Cummings of Oversight, Jerry Nadler of Judiciary, Frank Pallone of Energy and Commerce, Richard Neal of Ways and Means and Bobby Scott of Education and Labor, wrote in a letter to White House Counsel Pat Cipollone. "The White House failed to respond in any way to this request."

In the letter, Democrats write that "if the President and his administration truly stand by their decision to seek to eliminate health insurance coverage for millions of Americans, it is unclear why the White House would cover up its role in this unprecedented and disastrous reversal."

The chairmen write that they are setting May 24 as the new deadline for a response and that if they do not receive one "we will have no choice but to consider alternative means of obtaining compliance."
