AT&T Inc. last year hired a firm founded by President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to get advice on how the administration might handle matters such as antitrust enforcement and a corporate tax overhaul, according to an internal email obtained by Bloomberg News.
Cohen was one of "several consultants" the Dallas-based company hired for insight into Trump, according to the email, sent to U.S. employees on Wednesday. Their portfolios consisted of "a wide range of policy issues" such as "regulatory reform" at the Federal Communications Commission. The company didn’t dispute the authenticity of the email.
