Margaret Peterlin takes new government-affairs role with telecom giant after Michael Cohen controversy

By Drew FitzGerald

AT&T Inc. has hired former State Department chief of staff Margaret Peterlin to a senior government-affairs role after a shakeup reshaped the company's Washington office.

Ms. Peterlin, who served during former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's tumultuous 13-month tenure, is now the company's vice president of global external and public affairs, according to a letter sent to AT&T employees last month. She reports to General Counsel David McAtee.
