AT&T and Time Warner want a judge to allow their merger to go through without any conditions whatsoever, the two companies said in a brief filed Thursday evening.
NBC News on Thursday afternoon corrected an explosive story it had reported earlier in the day that said federal authorities had wiretapped Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer.
With the National Enquirer under scrutiny for its longstanding ties to President Trump, the tabloid is formally denying that Trump is involved in its editorial decisions.
The Justice Department argued for structural remedies for the merger, including "partial divestures," which means AT&T should be forced to sell a portion of Time Warner.
