As T-Mobile pushed for government approval for its merger with Sprint, company executives repeatedly stayed at a Trump hotel, according to a new report from The Washington Post. The stays raise questions about whether companies like T-Mobile are attempting to gain favor with the Trump administration through the president’s private business interests.
According to the Post, one day after announcing its proposed merger with Sprint, nine T-Mobile executives, including CEO John Legere, checked in to the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC. The Post reported that documents showed 38 nights of stays by company executives over about a dozen days last year, a figure that could be incomplete.
