Google has accused Jonathan Kanter, the antitrust chief at the Justice Department, of harboring a “deep-seated bias” against the company. In a court filing, Google claimed that Kanter’s past work for Google’s rivals constitutes a conflict of interest and accused him of receiving “millions of dollars” to advocate for antitrust action. The company argued that Kanter’s bias has influenced the entire proceedings and questioned his ability to ensure justice. They further alleged that Kanter is using his public office to pursue his clients’ agenda. The filing stated that Kanter’s bias violates Google’s Due Process right to a neutral prosecutor. Google is currently facing its first federal monopoly trial, with the Department of Justice suing the company for alleged online search monopoly practices. In addition, the DOJ and a group of state attorneys general filed a separate antitrust suit targeting Google’s alleged monopoly in the online advertising market. Google is seeking to interview Kanter under oath as part of their defense. The DOJ has not yet commented on the filing.
