公开信息显示，斯莱特毕业于牛津大学，任职于联邦贸易委员会十余年，是前美国总统奥巴马任期内联邦贸易委员会委员朱莉·布里尔（Julie Brill）的顾问。According to the report, Trump is considering appointing Slater as the head of the Department of Justice's antitrust department. Analysts say that this nomination means that Trump will continue the tough enforcement stance advocated by the Biden administration.
Trump is considering appointing hardline officials to the Department of Justice to strengthen antitrust enforcement against big tech companies.
According to media reports, US President-designate Trump plans to appoint Gail Slater (Gail Slater) as the head of the Department of Justice's antitrust department. Slater is known to be a senior aide to Vice President Vance, and was previously considered a strong candidate for the Competition and Trade Commission.
According to public information, Slater graduated from Oxford University, served on the Federal Trade Commission for more than ten years, and was an adviser to former Federal Trade Commission member Julie Brill (Julie Brill) during the term of US President Barack Obama.
Earlier, Vice President-designate Vance had stated that he wanted to see Google split off, showing a firm stance on anti-monopoly, and as Vance's senior assistant, Slater also maintained an aggressive crackdown on monopoly behavior.
According to top Wall Street traders revealed to the media, Slater's nomination will mean that the new administration will continue the tough enforcement stance advocated by the Biden administration, and tech giants such as Google, Apple, Meta, and Amazon will continue to face a more severe regulatory environment.
According to an analysis by someone familiar with the matter:
“Given her (Slater) position in the election campaign and her relationship with Vance, I think she is fully capable if she wants to be the chairman of the Department of Justice (department) or the Federal Trade Commission.”
The report said that in addition to Slater, Melissa Holyoak (Melissa Holyoak), who has a more conservative anti-monopoly stance, is also a strong contender for the head of the Department of Justice's antitrust department. Trump's ally Mike Lee (Mike Lee) also publicly supports Mark Meador (Mark Meador), a former law enforcement officer from the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, in running for this position.
Lee said in a statement:
“The Federal Trade Commission urgently needs new leadership, who will reinstate the agency's enforcement based on legal precedent and economics, and will continue to hold big tech companies accountable for anti-competitive behavior.”
