GOOG
Justice Dept. ready to brief state AGs on expected Google antitrust suit -
report
- The Justice Dept. is set to brief state attorneys general this week
about its plans to file an antitrust lawsuit against Google (GOOG,
GOOGL),
*The Washington Post* reports.
- That sets up a filing potentially next week, with the DOJ possibly
joined by some state AGs.
- The department opened its probe of Google last year with a focus on
the company's ad business, though it looks to have migrated to include
Google's dominance of online search.
- State AGs had started their own investigation last summer.
- News of the probe earlier this month revealed a split inside the DOJ,
with U.S. Attorney General William Barr reportedly pressing a quicker
filing over the objection of career lawyers at the department who wanted
more time to build a winnable case.
