WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) - A senior U.S. lawmaker said

an investigation by the Justice Department into whether the

National Football League ​has engaged in anticompetitive tactics

in broadcast rights appears aimed at helping Fox Corp.

Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democrat, at a U.S. House

Judiciary subcommittee hearing on sports broadcasting rights

cited a report that Fox chairman emeritus Rupert Murdoch

personally lobbied Donald Trump at a White House dinner to crack

down on the NFL streaming deals. "The DOJ's investigation, like

this hearing, appear to be all about helping Mr. Murdoch get a

better broadcast deal for Fox," Raskin said.
