Court filing reveals President Trump spoke to Live Nation CEO before antitrust case was settled
President Donald Trump spoke with Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino about an antitrust lawsuit before the Justice Department settled it, according to a court filing. The settlement faced criticism for not addressing Live Nation's market dominance, and a jury later found the company a monopoly. White House lawyers were involved in communications between Live Nation and the Justice Department during negotiations.
