The Hill
The Department of Justice (DOJ) alleged in a brief filed Monday that employees were trained to use business documents to shield them from discovery.
Employees were told to copy lawyers on emails and mark documents as privileged, making it difficult for prosecutors to determine what can be kept under attorney-client privilege.
The DOJ asked the District Court Judge to sanction the company and compel the disclosure of more documents.
They argued that the training was a misuse of attorney-client privilege.
After the company was on notice of the DOJ's antitrust investigation into the search market, the alleged misdeeds continued.
The allegation that the company tried to complicate discovery was flatly wrong.
We educate our employees about legal privilege and when to seek legal advice, just like other American companies.
The DOJ cited multiple examples of the practice in its brief, including the example of a copy of Kent Walker's email to Susan Wojcicki about how to respond to a press request.
Mehta will hold a hearing on April 8 to determine if the documents were shielded from prosecutors.

Borje Ekholm said on Tuesday that he had told staff to give the US Department of Justice all the information they had on the Iraq investigation.

Ekholm said on the call that he wouldn't go into those details ahead of the annual general meeting.
