The U.S. Department of Justice brought the case during Donald Trump’s first four-year term, and won a landmark ruling in August that Google maintained an illegal monopoly in online search and related advertising.
Prosecutors have floated a range of potential remedies in the case, from ending exclusive agreements in which Google pays billions of dollars annually to Apple and other companies to remain the default search engine on tablets and smartphones, to divesting parts of its business, such as its Android operating system.
The DOJ is expected to press forward with several of those proposals on Wednesday, including one that could require Google to divest its Chrome browser, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
