In Congress, top US antitrust regulators admit to infighting on big tech probe

The top US antitrust regulators admitted at a congressional hearing on Tuesday that they had wasted time arguing over who would investigate which tech company. This comes as the regulators take on major probes of firms like Alphabet’s Google for allegedly using their market power unfairly.

At the hearing, the Justice Department’s antitrust division chief, Makan Delrahim, acknowledged instances where officials’ time “is wasted on those kinds of squabbles.”
