WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday a conference call he had with American faith leaders faced tech issues for which he blamed AT&T while urging the wireless carrier’s boss to get involved in handling the situation.

“I’m doing a major Conference Call with Faith Leaders from all over the Country, and AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly,” Trump wrote on social media.

“This is the second time it’s happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved — It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!”
