A group of Democratic lawmakers is asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Trump Mobile, the cellphone network provider branded by the Trump Organization, for making misleading statements about where the product was manufactured and when it would be sold.
The group of 11 members of Congress, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, sent a letter to the regulatory agency Thursday asking it to determine if Trump Mobile engaged in “deceptive or unfair business” practices by collecting a $100 deposit from consumers who pre-ordered the phone whose release continues to be delayed.
