Barr has spent months taking greater control of the Justice Department's antitrust probes into the big tech companies, a development that could increase the peril for major players like Google and Facebook.
Some Silicon Valley critics see cause for optimism in Barr’s increasing sway over the tech probes, noting that he has had a wealth of antitrust experience as an attorney for companies like Time Warner and Verizon — both major rivals of the dominant online platforms. They view him as more likely than Delrahim to mount a serious antitrust challenge against one or more of the big tech companies.“He has an understanding of what it’s like to be in competition with these monopolists.
Barr indicated during his confirmation hearing last year that antitrust would be one of his priorities. “AAG Delrahim has made no announcements about leaving before the November elections," the spokesperson said, while noting that Delrahim has speaking engagements arranged through this summer. The spokesperson declined to comment on Rinner's departure.
