Richard "Ric" Grenell, who has served in multiple roles in both Trump administrations, has been added to global entertainment juggernaut Live Nation's board of directors as the company faces an antitrust battle with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over its influence on the concert ticketing industry.

"We are pleased to welcome Ric to our Board," Live Nation board chair Randall Mays said in a news release announcing Grenell's appointment. "His background will bring a valuable perspective as Live Nation continues to contribute to a growing live music industry around the globe."
