The At&T head lobbyist gets canned because of the Michael Cohen payments.
Darn the “vig”, Was it because they got caught or wasn’t $50,000 a month enough to leverage the Time-Warner merger.
In a memo to employees, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said the company made a “big mistake” in hiring Cohen as a political consultant. While everything the company did was legal, Stephenson said that the association with Cohen was “a serious misjudgment.”
Stephenson noted that the company’s reputation has been damaged and that the vetting process used by its team in Washington “clearly failed.” The Washington team had hired Cohen under a one-year contract that paid $50,000 a month.
Stephenson said Bob Quinn, senior executive vice president of the external and legislative affairs group, “will be retiring.”
