Attorney General Jeff Sessions is scheduled to meet with state attorneys general on Tuesday to reportedly discuss potential anti-trust actions against tech companies. While little has been publicly released about the meeting, a draft of a White House memo obtained by Business Insider suggests that the White House might be preparing to instruct federal law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice, to “thoroughly investigate whether any online platform has acted in violation of the antitrust laws.” The leaked memo doesn’t name any specific companies that should be investigated for violating anti-trust laws, but it comes after President Donald Trump has publicly attacked a variety of tech businesses for what he perceives as bias against him.
