Google must stop attempting to intimidate US antitrust enforcers at the Justice Department, according to two congressional Democrats.
On Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Pramila Jayapal wrote to Google CEO Sundar Pichai lambasting his company's efforts to get Jonathan Kanter — DOJ's top antitrust official — to recuse himself from all matters related to the company.
"These efforts to bully regulators and avoid accountability — which are similar to those of Facebook and Amazon this year — are untethered to federal ethics law and regulations, and we urge you to cease them immediately," the lawmakers wrote. "Google should focus on complying with antitrust law rather than attempting to rig the system with these unseemly tactics."
