Federal Judge Launches Investigation into Google’s Deliberate Deletion of Chats

Judge James Donato presides over Epic v. Google, a landmark case that could shape the future of the Android app store. However, the recent testimony in this case which reflects poorly on Google could have significant repercussions for the company.

On Friday, Judge Donato pledged to investigate Google for the deliberate and systematic suppression of evidence, condemning the company’s actions as “a frontal assault on the fair administration of justice.” We were present in the courtroom to witness his remarks.

“I am determined to uncover who is responsible,” he declared, emphasizing his commitment to pursue these issues independently, outside the confines of the trial.
