To amend or not amend, that is the question.

Depending on who you ask, Live Nation’s recent update to its sworn account of how it settled the federal antitrust case — and the role President Trump played in the talks — is either a nothing-burger, or “raises serious questions about the transparency of the process,” according to a statement from the Coalition for Ticket Fairness, which represents ticket resale interests.

Ultimately, judge Arun Subramanian will rule on the legality of the settlement and decide whether the new disclosures jeopardize the company’s standing with the court.

“Defendants submit this amended description to provide additional clarification regarding communications concerning or relevant to the Proposed Final Judgment,” attorneys for the company write in amended filings.

In an amended disclosure filed October 21 in the Southern District of New York, Live Nation and Ticketmaster now say that Trump himself called Michael Rapino in February 2026 about the Kennedy Center and asked about the DOJ lawsuit, and that Trump briefly appeared at the March 5 meeting where the settlement term sheet was signed.
