Rumble hires litigator David Boies in Google antitrust lawsuit ahead of trial
The Hindu
Rumble in 2021 sued Google for more than $2 billion in damages in the Oakland, California, federal court.
Video sharing platform Rumble is adding famed litigator David Boies to its trial team in a federal lawsuit accusing Alphabet’s Google of suppressing online video competition, a court filing showed.
Boies will work with a group of attorneys from law firm Cadwalader, including Nicholas Gravante Jr, a former longtime colleague of Boies at his firm Boies Schiller Flexner.
Rumble in 2021 sued Google for more than $2 billion in damages in the Oakland, California, federal court, accusing it of monopolising the online video platform market.
The lawsuit said Google rigged user searches to give preference to Google’s YouTube platform over Rumble. It also accused Google of scheming with device makers to bar Rumble from being preinstalled on some Android phones.
Gravante in a statement said he welcomed the chance to work again with Boies "on this most important matter." He called Boies an "incredible addition" to the trial team.
Boies, Rumble and Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Google has denied Rumble’s claims and asked U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam Jr to rule for the company and end the case before trial, which is set for July.
