Dish founder Ergen says he asked for senator's help on T-Mobile/Sprint
It is unusual for a Justice Department official to suggest to a company that it use access to U.S. senators to lobby another federal government agency.
Attorneys for the states on Wednesday presented a text message from May in which Makan Delrahim, the Justice Department’s antitrust division chief, told Ergen: “Today would be a good day to have your Senator friends contact the chairman,” a reference to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. Ergen testified that he asked Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado to speak with Pai and also spoke with Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, but said he did not recall asking McConnell to reach out to anyone. Ergen did not say when he spoke to Gardner or McConnell.
