DOJ Won't Further Challenge Court Loss on Failed Effort to Block AT&T/TW

DOJ won't further challenge in court its two-time judicial loss in its failed effort to block AT&T from having bought Time Warner, it said Tuesday. Earlier that day, a U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit three-judge panel unanimously sided with AT&T in upholding a lower court judgment that approved the deal worth tens of billions of dollars.

"The Department has no plans to seek further review," a spokesperson emailed. "We are grateful that the Court of Appeals considered our objections to the District Court opinion."
