Former President Donald Trump on Friday called for Google to be criminally prosecuted for what he called the company’s bias toward his election opponent Vice President Kamala Harris in online search results, CNBC’s Dan Mangan reported. Trump said that if the Justice Department doesn’t prosecute Google “for this blatant interference of Elections” he would request its prosecution “when I win the election and become President of the United States!” Trump was likely reacting to a new study by the right-leaning Media Research Center, which purportedly found that Google search engine results tended to show news articles that supposedly were positive toward Harris ahead of Trump’s campaign website, Mangan wrote.
