The Key Players and Legal Battle in the Google Antitrust Trial
The upcoming antitrust trial against Google will feature testimony from top tech executives, engineers, economists, and academics, as the government seeks to determine if Google abused its monopoly in online search. The trial will be overseen by Judge Amit P. Mehta, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014. The key figures in the trial include Jonathan Kanter, the assistant attorney general for antitrust at the Justice Department, who inherited the case from the Trump administration, and Sundar Pichai, Google's chief executive, who is expected to testify. The defense will be led by Kent Walker, Google's president of global affairs, and John E. Schmidtlein, a partner at Williams & Connolly.
