AT&T is demanding that the Justice Department hand over additional evidence to prove that President Trump did not wield political influence over the agency as its antitrust enforcers reviewed the company's bid to acquire Time Warner.
DOJ should produce a log of any conversations that may have transpired between the White House and Attorney General Jeff Sessions pertaining to AT&T's $85 billion merger, the telecom giant argued Friday before a federal judge.
Separately, DOJ should also be required, AT&T said, to disclose any conversations between Sessions and the agency's antitrust division, which has sued AT&T to block its megadeal. DOJ has argued that the transaction could harm competition by leading to higher prices for consumers and limiting innovation. The proposed tie-up could join a major distribution company with a massive library of entertainment content, creating a lucrative media empire.
