AT&T’s top Washington exec was forced out of his lucrative gig after he authorized paying $600,000 to President Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.Quinn was booted after the embarrassing revelation about the payment.


There is no other way to say it — AT&T hiring Michael Cohen as a political consultant was a big mistake,” company CEO Randall Stephenson said in the message to employees.

AT&T also said that investigators from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team contacted the company in late 2017 and that the company had cooperated with the probe.

The payments, along with others by pharma big Novartis, a US company linked to a Kremlin-connected Russian oligarch and a Korean aerospace company, were revealed earlier this week by Michael Avenatti, Daniels’ pugnacious lawyer.

Avenatti also said he had more information about Trump’s fixer than he had released.
