Google pressed the U.S. Department of Justice to probe whether new antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter should be recused from investigating the tech giant due to his past work representing its rivals.
Google, in a letter from a lawyer at Hogan Lovells US LLP representing the Alphabet Inc.-owned company, questioned Kanter’s impartiality by pointing to his past legal work against Google on behalf of Microsoft Corp., Yelp Inc., Angi Inc. and others.
