        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The feds are reportedly gearing up to bring an antitrust lawsuit against Google by the end of September.</p><p>Justice Department lawyers have been instructed to finish up their inquiry into the search giant this month as Attorney General William Barr is eager to take on the search giant.</p><p>The majority of the government&#8217;s lawyers feel that Barr&#8217;s timeline is rushed, according to <strong>the New York Times</strong>, with a number of them saying they would not sign the complaint.</p><p>The DOJ&#8217;s lawyers reportedly wanted more time to build their case, but were overruled by the Attorney General who felt that the department was moving too slowly.</p><p>Representatives for Google and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p><p>Both the federal government as well as a collection of state AGs have reportedly been <strong>digging into Google&#8217;s advertising business</strong>, which claims about a third of the world&#8217;s spending on online ads. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company also controls about 90 percent of the market for &#8220;ad tech tools&#8221; such as Google Ad Manager, which publishers use to sell advertising space.</p><p>The Justice Department&#8217;s probe, which started in 2019, has also examined whether Google has restricted competition with its powerful internet search business, according to reports.</p><p>Specifically, the concerns related to allegations that the conglomerate was using its control over the most utilized search engine in the world to suppress competition. Barr has <strong>reportedly</strong> taken a personal interest in the case and receives periodic updates on it from an aide.</p>]]></content:encoded>
