   WASHINGTON - Attorney General Karl A. Racine today filed a lawsuit   
   against AT&T Mobility National Accounts LLC (AT&T) over its failure to   
   comply with a long-term contract for cell phone and internet services,   
   which resulted in millions of dollars of overcharges to the   
   District. In the lawsuit, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG)   
   alleges AT&T knowingly submitted faulty invoices that did not comply   
   with the contract, which required AT&T to provide the cheapest cell   
   phone and data services available. The company was also required to   
   help the District save money by suggesting alternative lower-priced   
   plans based on data usage and to use a standardized base plan for all   
   District agencies. Instead, AT&T knowingly invoiced the District for   
   features, add-ons, and other services it did not need, causing   
   millions in improper charges that were paid for with taxpayer   
   funds. OAG is seeking damages and penalties from AT&T for violating   
   D.C. law and the District's False Claims Act (FCA) and for   
   overcharging the District between 2012 and 2018.
