Gail Slater announced her resignation as Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s (DOJ) Antitrust Division on Thursday morning. Slater’s sudden departure follows disagreements over merger enforcement with Attorney General Pam Bondi, and corruption allegations about senior DOJ officials.
Slater’s “America First Antitrust Policy,” inspired by big-is-bad New Right intellectuals Oren Cass and Sohrab Ahmari, put her at odds with “the business-friendly stance of the administration,” according to The Guardian.
