T-Mobile executives seeking merger approval booked more than 52 nights at Trump's hotel

Executives from the telecom giant T-Mobile — which last year asked the Trump administration to approve its megamerger with Sprint — have booked at least 52 nights at President Trump’s D.C. hotel since then, even more than previously reported, according to newly obtained records from the hotel.

The revelations come as political scrutiny of the proposed deal is mounting on Capitol Hill. On Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) issued letters demanding information about the T-Mobile executives’ stays and whether Trump was informed of them. The issue is likely to come up at a House subcommittee hearing on the merger next week.

Last month, The Washington Post reported that “VIP Arrivals” lists — issued by the Trump hotel daily to its staff — indicated that T-Mobile executives had stayed repeatedly at Trump’s hotel. On the day after the merger was announced, for instance, the lists showed nine T-Mobile executives were expected to check in.

1. Real question: Did they check into the $3000+ per night VIP suites?

Or did they get cheap rates through a booking service?

Staying in that hotel isn't as important as how much they paid.

3. Only paid $2.246 per night, he's good?

Legere stayed at Trump’s hotel for two nights last month, his room had a rate of $2,246 per night.

2. I'm sure it's just a coincidence and it's 'nothing to do with the White House!'

5. Two House committees are set to examine the merger at a Feb. 13 hearing.

The Democrats asked for details about the VIP lists and whether the company provided any copies “to the President, White House officials or any other administration officials.”

They also ask if T-Mobile consulted with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who has advised T-Mobile on the merger.

They asked for answers by Feb. 18. T-Mobile’s fourth-quarter earnings call is scheduled for Thursday, and two House committees are set to examine the merger at a Feb. 13 hearing. Legere is scheduled to appear and could be questioned there about the Trump hotel stays by Jayapal, a member of the House Judiciary Committee.
