New York Attorney General James Calls For Review Of Hewlett Packard Merger Settlement - AG James Calls For Further Investigation Into Reported Backroom Dealing That Led To Approval Of HP Merger With Juniper - Merger Likely To Raise Costs For Consumers And Hurt Competition

Date 05/09/2025

New York Attorney General Letitia James today joined a coalition of 17 other attorneys general in sending a letter opposing a recent settlement secured by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) that would allow Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to merge with a top competitor, Juniper Networks (Juniper), while doing nothing to address the higher costs and decreased competition likely to result. In a letter to DOJ, Attorney General James and the coalition assert that recent reporting and statements from former DOJ senior staff indicate that DOJ’s approval of the merger is the result of corrupt backroom dealing between HPE and top DOJ officials. While staff and senior leaders in DOJ’s Antitrust Division opposed the merger, they were overruled by top DOJ officials who had personal relationships with consultants and lobbyists hired by HPE. As Attorney General James and the coalition argue in the letter, this conduct likely violates federal laws meant to ensure that merger settlements are not the product of undue influence. The coalition is asking the judge in the Northern District of California to hold hearings to investigate any corrupt practices that led to the settlement and block the settlement if the allegations of corruption are proven true.
