Trump Vows Criminal Charges Against Google if Re-elected
Threat Against Google
In a bold declaration, former President Donald Trump has threatened to instruct the Department of Justice to pursue criminal charges against tech giant Google if he wins the presidency again. This announcement, made on his Truth Social platform, marks a significant escalation in Trump’s ongoing battle with the technology company.
Reason for the Threat
Trump’s accusations hinge on his belief that Google manipulates search results to display negative news stories about him while favoring more positive coverage of his 2024 election rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. He described Google’s actions as an IL activity, characterizing them as a blatant interference in the political process.
Allegations of Bias
These claims are not new; Trump and various conservative commentators have long claimed that Google’s search algorithms exhibit a bias towards Democrats. However, Google has consistently defended itself, stating that it does not manipulate search outcomes to favor any political group.
Criticism of Sponsored Content
Additionally, the Trump campaign has criticized the Harris campaign for utilizing Google’s ‘sponsored’ feature to amplify favorable news stories. The campaign alleges that this tactic includes modifying headlines to present a more advantageous narrative for Harris, further fueling Trump’s contention of media bias.
Broader Pattern of Threats
Trump’s threats are part of a broader strategy targeting perceived adversaries. He has previously announced intentions to seek criminal charges against various individuals linked to alleged election fraud, including lawyers, donors, and even former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on multiple occasions.
Other Targets
During a recent rally, Trump intensified scrutiny on Nancy Pelosi and her husband, suggesting a need for an investigation related to stock sales before an antitrust lawsuit against Visa was announced. Such claims highlight Trump’s ongoing commitment to challenging and investigating rivals as part of his campaign strategy.
Context of Ongoing Campaign
These comments emerge as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election, despite facing significant legal challenges, including a conviction of 34 felony counts in a New York courtroom earlier this year.
