While the Trump administration officially took office on January
20, 2017, the appointment and confirmation of the officials leading
the two antitrust agencies has been gradual and staggered:
Assistant Attorney General (AAG) for the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice (DOJ) Makan Delrahim was confirmed in
September 2017, while the full slate of new commissioners at the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC), including Chairman Joseph Simons,
was confirmed in April 2018.
Therefore, while the administration is in its third year,
articulation and demonstrated enforcement of antitrust policies and
priorities are continuing to emerge from the two U.S. antitrust
agencies.
