President Trump picks Gail Slater to lead DOJ’s antitrust division

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday chose Gail Slater, an antitrust veteran and economic adviser for U.S. Vide President-elect J.D. Vance, to lead the Department of Justice’s antitrust division and take charge of a full docket of blockbuster monopoly cases against companies including Apple, Google, and Visa.

Slater served on the White House’s National Economic Council in 2018, where she worked on Trump’s executive order on national security concerns over Chinese telecommunications equipment.
Slater will take over a number of high-profile cases in which some of the world’s largest companies are accused of illegally building and protecting monopolies.
Trump said Slater will “ensure that our competition laws are enforced, both vigorously and FAIRLY, with clear rules that facilitate, rather than stifle, the ingenuity of our greatest companies.”
