In a significant shakeup within the Justice Department, Gail Slater, the antitrust chief appointed by the Trump administration, has been fired or has resigned, sources report. Her departure comes less than a year into the role and follows intense disputes over high-profile mergers, including the contentious $14 billion HPE–Juniper acquisition and the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger review. The exit raises important questions about the future of competition policy under the Trump administration and adds to existing tensions within the antitrust division. Analysts speculate that her ousting signals a victory for large corporations and may impact ongoing investigations, including those concerning Live Nation. This latest development follows a pattern of tumultuous leadership changes within the antitrust enforcement arena.
