Sen Grassley Promises 'Robust' AT&T-Time Warner Review

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-IA) said that the proposed $86 billion merger between AT&T and Time Warner would get a thorough vetting in his committee. “This is the biggest deal of the year, combining one of the nation’s largest telecommunications providers with a media and entertainment giant," said Chairman Grassley. "It’s imperative that the antitrust regulators conduct a robust review of the proposed acquisition." "As the process moves forward, the Senate, and the Judiciary Committee, can and will conduct oversight and ask questions about the transaction, including a hearing to examine the impact on competition and consumers," he said.
