Justice Department meeting state AG offices Tuesday to discuss Google
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Justice Department officials will meet on Tuesday with representatives of state attorneys general to discuss their investigations of search and advertising giant Google, according to sources familiar with the plans.
The meeting is in the afternoon, according to one source, and will include officials from six or seven states, including Texas, according to a second source familiar with the matter.
The Justice Department and nearly all state attorneys general have opened investigations into allegations that Alphabet’s Google has broken antitrust law. The probes focus on search bias, advertising and management of Google’s Android operating system.
Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple are all the focus of federal, state and congressional investigations following complaints that the four tech giants abused their clout in dealings with smaller companies.
The probes are being carried out by the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general and the House Judiciary Committee. U.S. Attorney General William Barr has said he would like to see them wrapped up this year.
The companies have come under fire from all parts of the political spectrum, with President Donald Trump critical of the companies and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders calling for the break-up of Amazon and Facebook.

Alphabet shares decline on revenue miss
Alphabet Inc. shares declined 4% in extended trading after the company’s fourth-quarter revenue fell short of Wall Street estimates on Monday.
Google’s parent company rode its franchise business, search-engine advertising sales, to report revenue of $46.08 billion, vs. expectations of $46.94 billion from analysts polled by FactSet.
Alphabet’s GOOGL, -1.86% GOOG, -2.21% net income of $10.67 billion, or $15.35 per share, eclipsed FactSet estimates of $12.49 per share.
Marking a dramatic change from previous earnings announcements, Alphabet broke out revenue for YouTube. “I’m really pleased with our continued progress in Search and in building two of our newer growth areas — YouTube, already at $15 billion in annual ad revenue, and Cloud, which is now on a $10 billion revenue run rate,” Alphabet Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said in a statement.
YouTube revenue in 2019 was $15.15 billion, up 36% from 2018. Google Cloud sales were $8.9 billion for the year, surging 53% from 2018.
The search-engine powerhouse, whose market value topped $1 trillion last month but has since dropped below that mark, is one of four major tech companies under investigation by federal regulators for its business practices.
