两位知情人士向美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）透露，执掌司法部反垄断部门近一年的盖尔·斯莱特（Gail Slater）本周被特朗普政府解雇。
消息人士称，斯莱特周四在 X 平台（原推特）发文暗示自己是主动离职，但数月来她一直与司法部长帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi）和白宫西翼存在分歧。她被罢免反垄断部门主管一职被视为早有预料，至于谁将长期填补这一职位的空缺，仍有待观察。
邦迪周四发表声明，对斯莱特表示不温不火的赞扬。
“代表司法部，我们感谢盖尔·斯莱特为反垄断部门所做的服务，该部门致力于保护消费者、促进价格实惠，并扩大经济机会，”司法部长说道。
顾名思义，司法部反垄断部门负责执行美国反垄断法，对企业提起民事或刑事诉讼，以促进竞争。近年来，该部门曾对苹果公司和谷歌公司提起诉讼。在司法部内部，斯莱特以推动政府对科技公司采取强硬态度而闻名，而这些科技公司的领导者通常能获得特朗普的青睐。
马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦在一份声明中表示，此次解雇“看起来像是腐败行为”。
“一小支与‘让美国再次伟大’运动（MAGA）结盟的律师和说客，一直试图将并购审批权高价出售给出价最高的一方，而这将推高价格并损害创新，”这位民主党参议员说道。“如今，摆在特朗普司法部面前的每一个反垄断案件都散发着两面派的恶臭——Ticketmaster 的股价已经飙升。国会有责任查明究竟发生了什么，并追究特朗普政府的责任。”
斯莱特与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的白宫之间的摩擦已持续数月。去年 12 月，特朗普对橡树视野集团联合创始人蒂姆·莱维克（Tim Leiweke）发布了“完全无条件的赦免令”。而莱维克在 2025 年初被其所在的司法部起诉——该案件正是由斯莱特领导的。
“正如起诉书中所概述的，被告操纵了一个竞价过程以使其自身公司受益，并剥夺了一所公立大学和纳税人通过竞争性竞价获得的利益，”斯莱特当时在一份声明中表示。
斯莱特在周四的 X 平台帖子中写道：“今天，我怀着极大的悲痛和坚定的希望，辞去反垄断副助理检察长一职。能担任这一职务，我深感一生的荣幸。”
反垄断部门预计将在评估网飞（Netflix）收购华纳兄弟探索公司（Warner Brothers Discovery）旗下华纳兄弟工作室和 HBO 的交易中发挥关键作用。派拉蒙影业（Paramount）正试图通过直接向股东提出自己的收购报价来阻止这一交易。（CNN 由华纳兄弟探索公司所有。）
上周，特朗普在全国广播公司（NBC）的采访中表示：“我已决定我不应参与其中。司法部会处理此事。”但两位知情人士向 CNN 透露，派拉蒙影业首席执行官大卫·埃里森上周回到白宫，与特朗普进行了私下会面。

Justice Department’s antitrust chief has been fired, sources say

Gail Slater, who ran the antitrust division for the Justice Department for nearly a year, was forced out by the Trump administration this week, two people familiar with the matter told CNN.
Slater, who suggested in a post on X Thursday she was leaving on her own, had been at odds with Attorney General Pam Bondi and the West Wing for months, the sources said. Her ouster as the antitrust chief was viewed as a long time coming, and it remains to be seen who fills her role on a permanent basis.
Bondi issued tepid praise of Slater in a statement Thursday.
“On behalf of the Department of Justice, we thank Gail Slater for her service to the Antitrust Division which works to protect consumers, promote affordability, and expand economic opportunity,” the attorney general said.
As its name suggests, the Justice Department’s anti-trust division enforces US antitrust laws, pursuing civil or criminal cases against companies with an eye on promoting competition. In recent years, it has pursued cases against Apple and Google, and inside the department, Slater was known to be pushing the administration to be aggressive on tech companies, whose leaders often have the ear of Trump.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in a statement that the ouster “looks like corruption.”
“A small army of MAGA-aligned lawyers and lobbyists have been trying to sell off merger approvals that will increase prices and harm innovation to the highest bidder,” the Massachusetts Democratic said. “Every antitrust case in front of the Trump Justice Department now reeks of double-dealing — Ticketmaster’s stock is already surging. Congress has a responsibility to unearth exactly what happened and hold the Trump administration accountable.”
The friction between Slater and President Donald Trump’s White House had been clear for months. In December, Trump issued a “full and unconditional pardon” for Oak View Group co-founder Tim Leiweke, who was indicted by his own Justice Department — in a case led by Slater — earlier in 2025.
“As outlined in the indictment, the Defendant rigged a bidding process to benefit his own company and deprived a public university and taxpayers of the benefits of competitive bidding,” Slater said in a statement at the time.
Slater said in her Thursday post on X: “It is with great sadness and abiding hope that I leave my role as AAG for Antitrust today. It was indeed the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role.”
The anti-trust division is expected to play a critical role in assessing Netflix’s Warner Brothers Discovery’s deal to sell the Warner Bros. studio and HBO to Netflix, which Paramount is trying to stop by appealing straight to shareholders with its own bid. (CNN is owned by Warner Brothers Discovery.)
In an NBC interview last week, Trump said, “I’ve decided I shouldn’t be involved. The Justice Department will handle it.” But Paramount CEO David Ellison returned to the White House last week to meet privately with Trump, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
