Gail Slater, then-head of the DOJ's antitrust division, was reviewing HPE’s bid to acquire Juniper when she got a phone call from one of HPE's outside lawyers. “If you don’t approve this settlement, I will destroy you. I will destroy your job at the DOJ,” Mike Davis told her, according to a deposition by her former deputy reviewed by @WSJ. Davis denies making the call. Davis had been Slater’s friend for years and recommended her to Trump for the job. Now, he was advising HPE—and Slater and her team had proved resistant to the settlement terms he proposed. The fallout was swift. Within months, two of Slater’s deputies were pushed out of the Justice Department. By February, Slater was gone, too.

New: Trump rails against “Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic” and says he is directing every US federal agency to “IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology.” Gives six-month phaseout period. “Anthropic better get their act together…or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.”
