AT&T Paid $200K For ‘Insights’ On Trump

AT&T confirmed Tuesday that it paid a total of $200,000 for “insights” on President Donald Trump’s administration to his personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

The telecommunications giant “was one of several firms we engaged in early 2017 to provide insights into understanding the new administration,” it said, CNBC reported.

AT&T paid Cohen in four separate installments of $50,000 beginning in 2017 to early 2018, according to CNBC.

One user on Twitter tagged AT&T in a tweet, and accused the company of “pay-to-play.” AT&T’s Twitter account replied, “Can you please tell us more about what you mean by pay to play?”

AT&T’s Twitter handle seems to be an automated bot, according to an article published by Splinter detailing the unusual responses it has sent to Twitter users.
