Attorney General Rayfield Urges Court to Reject
Corrupt $14B Hewlett Packard Enterprises/Juniper Merger Settlement.
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum is leading the charge to block the $14 billion merger between Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) and Juniper Networks, accusing the Department of Justice (DOJ) of being influenced by corruption and political lobbying. The deal, which would consolidate the Wi-Fi market dominated by just three players, raises serious antitrust concerns, with critics arguing it would drive up prices and stifle innovation. However, rather than taking a firm stance against the merger, the DOJ allegedly caved to pressure from HPE, which hired powerful lobbyists—some with close ties to Donald Trump’s inner circle—to push the deal through. Leaked documents reveal that HPE bypassed professional antitrust experts and used political influence to secure a settlement that critics say weakens the competition and ultimately harms consumers. This scandal has raised alarm bells over the growing role of corporate influence in undermining antitrust enforcement, casting a shadow over the integrity of the DOJ’s decision-making process.
