AT&T lawsuit over Time Warner deal mentions DOJ and SoftBank funding talks

AT&T lawsuit over Time Warner deal mentions DOJ and SoftBank funding talks The passage provides a brief reference to a DOJ lawyer’s comment and mentions SoftBank’s Vision Fund seeking money from Gulf sovereign wealth funds, but it lacks concrete details, dates, or transactional evidence linking high‑level officials to wrongdoing. It is largely contextual and offers limited actionable leads. Key insights: AT&T claims the lawsuit to block its Time Warner deal is politically motivated by President Trump’s antipathy toward CNN.; A Justice Department lawyer said AT&T’s argument for documents didn’t make sense.; SoftBank’s Vision Fund is in early talks to raise additional capital from Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, Mumtalakat.
