Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, & HP have hired at least 360 former DOJ employees according to a 'revolving door' analysis by ExposingBiden, a conservative watchdog group. Employees may have key insight into antitrust investigative methods.
Big Tech is staffed with hundreds of former Department of Justice employees, some of whom have key insight into government antitrust investigative methods, according to a watchdog's"revolving door" analysis.
In January, the DOJ unveiled an antitrust lawsuit against Google that aims to make the company divest parts of its online advertising business. It was the second time in two years that the government sued the tech giant given Trump's DOJ accused Google in October 2020 of acting in a competitive way through alleged monopoly power.
Sonderby has been vice president and deputy general counsel since 2010 for Meta, where he oversees an over 500-person legal team. He was a senior DOJ representative in Asia from 2006 and 2010 and an assistant U.S. attorney from 1998 to 2006 in San Francisco. Leon, the DOJ's criminal fraud section chief since September 2022, worked between 2014 and 2022 as the chief ethics and compliance officer for HP. He also worked at the DOJ under former President Barack Obama between 1998 and 2014, a time frame that saw the government handling various cases that involved HP.
