AT&T Inc.'s top Washington executive and policy chief is
being forced out of the company after his office paid $600,000 to
Trump attorney Michael Cohen last year.
The company told employees in an internal memo Friday that Bob
Quinn was retiring, but a person familiar with the matter said Mr.
Quinn was being forced to leave.
"There is no other way to say it -- AT&T hiring Michael
Cohen as a political consultant was a big mistake," the company's
chief executive, Randall Stephenson, said in the message to
employees.
Mr. Quinn didn't immediately respond to a request for
comment.
