The storm before the storm: The Tipline for 6 April 2018

We have the latest from a busy week at the E Barrett Prettyman federal courthouse, where the Department of Justice’s antitrust division is trying to stop AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner. Assistant attorney general for antitrust Makan Delrahim stopped by for the morning session of the week’s final trial day, which did not end so smoothly for the government. We hope you enjoy a restful weekend before antitrust lawyers from around the world descend on Washington, DC, for GCR’s annual cartels conference and awards dinner, the American Bar Association’s antitrust spring meeting, and more.
