President Donald Trump spoke personally with the chief executive of Live Nation in the weeks before the Justice Department abruptly settled its long-standing anti-trust lawsuit against the entertainment giant and its Ticketmaster subsidiary, the company revealed in a court filing.

Lawyers for Live Nation told the court on Monday that Trump and the company's CEO, Michael Rapino, spoke about the anti-trust lawsuit in February, but didn't discuss "substantive terms" of any potential settlement.

They also said that White House lawyers were involved in some of the numerous in-person meetings, videoconferences, telephone calls and written communications between the company and the Justice Department in February and March.
