In June, we discussed the Trump administration's candidate for the top post in the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division: Makan Delrahim. During Delrahim's confirmation hearing, Sen. Amy Klobuchar pressed him, "What would you do, if you're in this job, if the president, or the vice president, or a White House staffer calls, and wants to discuss a pending investigation of an antitrust matter?" Delrahim responded, "The role of the assistant attorney general for antitrust is a law enforcement function," and that "politics will have no role in the enforcement of the antitrust laws." Delrahim's comment appeared to placate Klobuchar's present concerns about White House intercession or interference in pending antitrust investigations, although a confirmation vote by the full Senate is still pending. However, viewed historically, the constitutional role of the executive branch and the president in particular in dictating, directing and controlling antitrust enforcement policy is far more complex and nuanced. As is often the case, history provides the necessary context to answer thorny constitutional questions.

Antitrust Trade and Practice columnists Shepard Goldfein and James Keyte write: Just before the U.S. Supreme Court's most recent term expired, the justices set the stage for a potential test of the Trump administration's ideological vigor. By inviting Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall's office to "file a brief ... expressing the views of the United States" regarding 'In re Vitamin C Antitrust Litigation,' the court has offered President Donald Trump and his government an opportunity to expound on one of the president's most popular talking points pre- and post-campaign—the issue of China's abuses of international trade.
