“Do you understand the optics of that, what it looks like? It looks like what’s happening is T-Mobile is trying to curry favor with the White House," said Johnson. The flare-up comes weeks after The Washington Post uncovered detailed guest logs from the Trump hotel showing that top T-Mobile executives booked dozens of stays. Following the Post’s report, lawmakers such as Rep. Pramila Jayapal sent letters to T-Mobile inquiring about the stays.On Tuesday, Jayapal said the issue of the hotel stays was significant because of allegations that President Trump may have interfered in the antitrust review of another deal, AT&T’s purchase of Time Warner.
“Except in 2015, you said you were never going to stay there,” said Jayapal, referring to an old Twitter feud with Trump in which Legere had criticized his experience at a different Trump hotel. It is unclear whether Legere committed never to stay at another Trump hotel — though he did not appear to dispute Jayapal’s characterization Tuesday afternoon — but in 2015 he did vow to leave one over a noise complaint.
Republican members needled Legere’s Democratic critics, accusing them of pursuing a non-substantive line of questioning. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle raised concerns about what a merger between T-Mobile and Sprint would mean for consumer prices, employees’ wages and innovation. The two companies have promised that cellphone plan prices will not increase following the merger, and T-Mobile has vowed not to raise prices for at least three years after the deal closes.
