Four more states joined a government secretary effort, including Letitia James, to stop T-Mobile's acquisition of Sprint, which occurred Friday.

Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Nevada will be included in a modified complaint being filed Friday, Beau Buffier, chief of the antitrust office in James & # 39; s office, told a federal judge in Manhattan.

The Bar Association finally agreed not to seek a legally binding temporary obstacle order that blocked the agreement.

The prosecuting countries also agreed to request an accelerated October trial date instead of their previous target of a tria In December, the source said.
