The Department of Justice Antitrust Division is experiencing significant upheaval following the sudden firing of two senior officials, Roger Alford and Bill Rinner. Both deputies served under DOJ Antitrust Chief Gail Slater and were dismissed this week for reasons described only as "insubordination" by a DOJ official. These firings raise concerns over the stability of an agency pivotal in challenging major tech giants like Apple and Google. The incident underscores internal turmoil at the agency during a critical period for antitrust enforcement.
