flag 12 states challenge DOJ’s HP-Juniper merger deal, citing political influence and antitrust concerns.

flag California Attorney General Rob Bonta leads a coalition of 12 Democratic state attorneys general in seeking to intervene in the $14 billion Hewlett-Packard and Juniper Networks merger, challenging the U.S. Department of Justice’s settlement. flag They allege the deal was influenced by political pressure, lacked transparency, and failed to address antitrust concerns, citing the removal of Trump-era antitrust officials who opposed the merger and significant lobbyist involvement. flag The states argue the settlement harms competition, consumer choice, and infrastructure costs, and are requesting a pause on the merger, access to records, and a multi-state investigation. flag The DOJ maintains its decision was based on merit, while Hewlett-Packard has not commented.
