Gail Slater is the DOJ’s new antitrust head

The generation of the anti -monopoly department of the US Department of Justice will lead after a successful confirmation vote in Congress today. Slater will take over many cases of anti-monopoly against large technology companies, presented during the era of Donald Trump and Joe Biden-including a high-level Google research suit.

The Senate voted to confirm Slater with the support of the two parties as the assistant prosecutor of the Anti -Anti -Monopath Department. It will join the Trump administration for the second time – worked in the National Economic Council during its first term and was a consultant to economic policy and the Senate employee of Vice President JD Vance before the elections. It has a long history in the Anti -monopoly law, as it joined the Federal Trade Committee to work on integration issues starting in 2004 and later pressed the legislation against joining while working with Rocco. The Chairman of the Judicial Committee of the Senate Chuck Grassley urged colleagues to confirm the basket by referring to “several years” of the exercise of the Anti-Special Monopathy Law and spending a long period of time in FTC.

Slater will join the administration in the middle We are against GoogleThe issue of fighting monopoly that witnessed Google announced an illegal monopoly last year. A prescribed hearing will be decided next month, what treatments should be enforced against it, including the potential separation of the company. It will replace Jonathan Cantry, who has been won by the Ministry of Justice in its case against Google.

The new monopoly control monitoring has not been expressed in the firmness of Matthew and where the Ministry of Justice will fight its new battles. When the Republican Senator in Utah Mike Lee, who leads the Combating Anti -monopoly Committee, was asked about its commitment to a vision by implementing the anti -monopoly that started during the Trump era, “The resources are of course very important” in taking issues more, adding that the anti -friction civil litigation “is costly so that this is considered as consideration.”

Other parts of the Trump administration have used its power to pursue political enemies, and Trump’s long runner has sparked companies with companies such as Google fears of political litigation. The Democratic Senator at Minnesota Amy Klopochar, who said she heard good things about Slater, asked during the confirmation session whether “it will open an investigation or file a lawsuit for any reason other than legitimate law enforcement purposes.” Salter replied that she does not “expect a real pattern as she described it.”
