Democrat Says Trump NFL Probe Aimed at Helping Fox Getting Better Deal
A senior U.S. lawmaker said an investigation by the Justice Department into whether the National Football League has engaged in anticompetitive tactics in broadcast rights appears aimed at helping Fox Corp.
Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democrat, at a U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on sports broadcasting rights cited a report that Fox chairman emeritus Rupert Murdoch personally lobbied Donald Trump at a White House dinner to crack down on the NFL streaming deals. “The DOJ’s investigation, like this hearing, appear to be all about helping Mr. Murdoch get a better broadcast deal for Fox,” Raskin said.
