Telecommunications giant AT&T said Friday that hiring President Donald Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen as a consultant was a "big mistake," and the company also announced the retirement of the executive whose group retained Cohen.

AT&T's apology for the $600,000 contract paid Cohen came a day after drug maker Novartis likewise said, "we made a mistake" in hiring Cohen under a whopping $1.2 million contract for health-care policy consulting work that he quickly proved unable to do.
