President Trump's tech critic Gale Slater's nomination leads the Department of Justice's anti-trust division.
President Trump has appointed Gale Slater to lead the Department of Justice's anti-trust division. Slater served as JD Vance's aide in the Senate and has a strong record against Big Technology, who advised President Trump on technology and communications policy during his first term. Many populist Republicans, including Vance and Josh Hawley, also supported Biden's antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter, and continued their first Trump administration job in lawsuits against Apple and Google.
Slater will almost certainly continue these lawsuits against Big Technology. However, after Kanter resigned on December 18th, his awakened Deputy Doha Pekki took over as the anti-trust chief, and many radicalized in the final weeks of Biden's lame presidency. I pushed my action forward.
Mekki is perfectly qualified as a leftist extremist. Left wing academic Zephyr Teachout praise “Amazing work by Doha Pekki on the long and important relationship between antitrust laws and racial justice,” Teachout referenced an October 29 speech by Mekki. address Rather than focusing on “contractual binding, property rights, and labor-management relations,” it is “robust political and social freedom for all.”
Mekki repeatedly called out Web Dubois, a black Marxist thinker. Dubois too Discussed “The greatest gift for modern civilization in the Soviet Union was the abdication of the clergy.”
In the last week of the Biden administration, Plache issued rules to deal with it “HR” policyusually has nothing to do with antitrust policies. She published Last minute lawsuit It's not his own inflation policy in line with the Biden administration's blame AI and landlord's criticism against six major landlords, but not inflation policy for high rents. she I sued KKR Excessive document violations. KKR responded that the Justice Department is in a hurry to “start enforcement action on the last day of the current administration.”
Most importantly, she filed a lawsuit just days before Trump became president, preventing AMEX GBT from blocking the purchase of Carlson trips.
Carlson Travel is a broker struggling due to technological advances and the crippling effects of Covid and Biden's long lockdown. Only company Appeared from bankruptcy In 2021, revenue has exceeded 50% since Covid's lockdown. Experts in almost every industry are noting that the company is still hanging in threads, with 9,000 jobs likely to be closure at risk. For some reason, this became a priority for Pekki before the Trump administration could take over.
In particular, none of the plating actions have anything to do with countering major technology. Carlson Travel was acquired for $570 million rather than a bucket decline, compared to market capitalizations of tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Apple. .
The Trump administration must consider the gusts of last-minute lawsuits filed during the transition period. These enforcement actions require thorough evaluation under Slater's leadership. Their continuance will likely need to continue, as determined by President Trump and the Attorney General, depending on whether they are in line with the priorities and enforcement philosophy of the next administration.
