Justice Department Antitrust Chief Resigns Abruptly
The head of the Justice Department’s antitrust unit, Gail Slater, has announced her immediate departure from her role. This comes at a significant juncture for corporate mergers, with major deals such as the potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery and an ongoing legal challenge against Live Nation’s ownership of Ticketmaster on the horizon. Slater’s exit follows that of her deputy and occurs amidst heightened scrutiny of large corporate transactions.
