The Trump administration is expected to be softer on antitrust cases, which as we know are one of Sweeney's major pursuits.

      He bought the company to bolster his lawsuits against Apple and Google, only to fob it off to Songtradr a few years later in the middle of the staff unionising. Songtradr then sacked half the staff (coincidentally all the ones who were part of the union) and still refuse to recognise the union to this day.
