Nov. 2, 2017, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising reports that the Justice Department may be pursuing an antitrust lawsuit to stop the AT&T-Time Warner merger:
“Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Justice Department are moving forward with keeping one of the Trump’s key campaign promises by carefully considering an antitrust lawsuit to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger. This is a move in the right direction and absolutely necessary to stop the merger. The immense power via consolidation that AT&T and Time Warner would wield post-merger threatens the First Amendment rights of every American. By considering this lawsuit against the AT&T-Time Warner merger, once again, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is doing the right thing for America.”
