The Mexican phone giant has hooked up with Sprint and is angling for an FCClicense to provide international service in the U.S., where it plans to target Spanish- speakers.
Yene says he gave Herman money -- in one instance, cash in an envelope -- in return for her influence, including helping someone secure an FCClicense for a satellite telephone system.
In an interview with ABC News aired Wednesday, Yene alleged that he, Herman and Weaver entered into an agreement to use her White House influence to secure the FCClicense for one of his clients.
