Klobuchar Statement on the Resignation of Gail Slater

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law, and longtime leader of the Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights released the following statement on the resignation of Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division, Gail Slater.

"Gail Slater's departure from the Department of Justice is a major loss for bipartisan antitrust enforcement. She received significant bipartisan support in the Senate and has continued important cases brought by Administrations of both parties, including winning a landmark monopolization case against Google and preparing the vital case to break up Live Nation-Ticketmaster for trial next month," said Klobuchar. "Her departure raises significant concerns about this Administration's commitment to enforcing the antitrust laws for the betterment of consumers and small businesses, including seeing through its cases against monopolies."
