AT&T CEO admits they made payments to Trump's Lawyer Cohen

AT&T's CEO tells employees that hiring Trump lawyer Michael Cohen as a consultant was a "big mistake." CEO Randall Stephenson says AT&T wanted Cohen to help the company understand Trump's approach to issues including its planned $85 billion merger with Time Warner. Drug giant Novartis likewise has apologized for hiring Trump's personal lawyer, who is under criminal investigation for his business dealings and a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

My thoughts on this news
This is exactly the pay to play corruption that destroys governments. As I have been saying in most of my posts, the US government (along with many other countries' governments) is bought and paid for by corporations and their wealthy owners. Now AT&T has revealed that it made payments to Cohen so they could get access to Trump. They needed access to Trump because they were trying to merge with Time Warner and Trump is the one who could allow such a merger. These people do not care about the majority of Americans, all they care is about earning profits for themselves. They take over governments and create laws/rules that most people do not want and try to suck every penny they can out of the working class who can barely pay their monthly expenses...
