""The Trump administration gave up the fight and wanted to let these companies off the hook easily," Arizona AG Kris Mayes said today. "But we kept fighting for every Arizonan who has been charged too much by this illegal monopoly and we won.""
""Congrats to the mighty State AG coalition that stood behind this case," Slater wrote today. "You made antitrust history today. You fought the good fight, you finished the race, and you kept the faith.""
""In the face of dwindling antitrust enforcement by the Trump Administration, this verdict shows just how far we can go when we stand together against monopolies.""
The Trump administration ceased efforts to break up Live Nation and Ticketmaster, leading to a settlement that included business practice changes and civil penalties. Only six states joined the settlement, receiving $18.6 million collectively. The District of Columbia and 33 states continued litigation against Live Nation. Former Trump official Gail Slater praised the coalition of state AGs for their efforts, stating they made antitrust history. California AG Rob Bonta noted the significance of the verdict amid reduced antitrust enforcement during the Trump administration.
