Trump nominates FCC General Counsel Adam Candeub to lead the DOJ Antitrust Division, a senior enforcement role that signals the direction of US competition policy over the next four years. Candeub's appointment removes a potential Republican FCC candidate and indicates a shift in antitrust leadership philosophy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're in tech and have faced DOJ scrutiny or acquisition blocks, the person running antitrust just changed. Candeub's track record favours academic rigour over aggressive enforcement—your M&A path and competitive moves now have a different political arbiter.
