Rudy Giuliani says Trump "denied" AT&T-Time Warner merger - CBS News
President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani told HuffPost Friday that Mr. Trump "denied the merger" between AT&T and Time Warner, which contracits the White House and the Department of Justice earlier statements that the president was not involved.
Giuliani's comments come after it was revealed AT&T's senior executive vice president of external and legislative affairs, Bob Quinn, was involved in agreeing to pay Cohen a reported $600,000 for what the company called "insights" into the Trump administration's positions on telecom regulation, tax reform and other issues.
"Whatever lobbying was done didn't reach the president," Giuliani told HuffPost. "He did drain the swamp ... The president denied the merger. They didn't get the result they wanted."
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, however, insisted in a statement that the Justice Department denied the merger.
"The Department of justice denied the merger," she told CBS News in a brief statement.
Giuliani has not clarified or changed his statement.
