Trump demands DOJ to criminally prosecute Google

In a recent social media post, former President Donald Trump has made strong allegations against Google, calling for the company to be criminally prosecuted due to its alleged bias in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris during the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. The Republican presidential nominee expressed his concerns over what he described as Google's interference in the electoral process through skewed online search results.

Trump's Reaction to Study by Media Research Center

Trump's reaction seems to have been triggered by a study conducted by the Media Research Center. The study purportedly indicated that Google search engine results tended to prioritize news articles favorable to Kamala Harris, while downplaying content related to Trump's campaign. Specifically, the findings suggested that when users searched for 'Donald Trump presidential race 2024,' Google's search results displayed a favorable bias towards Harris.

Legal Threats and Allegations of 'Interference' in Elections

In his social media post on Truth Social, Trump vehemently criticized Google, alleging that the company had engaged in illegal practices by selectively promoting negative stories about him, some of which he claimed were fabricated for that purpose. In stark contrast, he accused Google of solely highlighting positive stories about Kamala Harris. He warned that if the Department of Justice failed to take action against Google for what he termed 'blatant interference' in the electoral process, he would pursue legal action 'when I win the election and become President of the United States.'
