In a prior investigation, TonerNews.com revealed... U.S. senators are demanding answers from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) over its hiring of politically connected consultants to push through its controversial $14 billion merger with Juniper Networks—raising alarm over potential backdoor dealings with the Trump Administration. The lawmakers' letter points to the suspicious timing of the abrupt firing of Department of Justice antitrust attorneys reviewing the deal, suggesting the merger may have benefited from high-level political interference. While HPE disclosed one lobbyist as required by law, senators argue the disclosure was likely incomplete, masking the true extent of influence-peddling behind closed doors. The revelations have sparked serious questions about whether HPE used its access to Trump insiders to bypass proper regulatory scrutiny and ram through a deal that may not have survived on merit alone.
