Alphabet's Google has engaged Donald Verrilli Jr., former U.S. Solicitor General under the Obama administration and a prominent Supreme Court attorney, to lead its appeal against a federal judge's ruling that found the company holds an unlawful monopoly in the online search market. This move marks a key step in Google's legal strategy to challenge the ruling, which it argues threatens its business operations. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's first batch of judicial nominees for his second administration has begun the confirmation process, with hearings held before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Among these nominees are four judicial candidates from Missouri introduced by Senator Josh Hawley. Additionally, Trump's nominee for the Chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Brian Quintenz, is scheduled for a Senate Agriculture Committee confirmation hearing on June 10. In related legal developments, Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship is set to face its first review by a U.S. appeals court, highlighting ongoing judicial scrutiny of immigration policies.
