Gail Slater, a top DOJ official appointed by Donald Trump to lead the antitrust division, has abruptly resigned amid pressure from big tech companies opposed to her regulatory efforts. During her tenure, Slater took significant actions, including blocking a major merger, but faced backlash that ultimately led to her departure, which she announced with a message of gratitude for her team.
