President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Gail Slater, a former tech policy advisor on his national economic council and a Federal Trade Commission staffer, as the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice. Slater, known for her critical stance on Big Tech, is tasked with addressing the power of large technology companies, which Trump has accused of stifling competition and infringing on rights. This nomination aligns with Trump's ongoing efforts to tackle antitrust issues, particularly against tech giants like Google, which faced significant actions under his previous administration.
