District of Columbia Sues Amazon for Antitrust Law Violations
The District of Columbia filed an antitrust lawsuit against online retailing giant Amazon, accusing the Seattle-based company of using its market power to harm consumers.
Amazon is the world’s largest online retail platform. As of May 25, the company had a market capitalization of $1.63 trillion, and according to the Wall Street Journal, was close to completing a deal to acquire MGM, the Hollywood movie-making studio.
Amazon unlawfully uses price agreements to stifle competition, District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine, a Democrat, said in a press release.
“Amazon has used its dominant position in the online retail market to win at all costs. It maximizes its profits at the expense of third-party sellers and consumers, while harming competition, stifling innovation, and illegally tilting the playing field in its favor,” Racine said.

With rioting continuing in Brooklyn Center and around the country, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., went to Minnesota and told the protesters that they gotta stay on the street and get more confrontational. The statement is ironic since Waters is one of the House members suing former President Donald Trump and others for inciting violence on Jan. 6 with his words on the Mall.
Waters insists that Trump telling his supporters to go to the Capitol to make their voice heard and fight for their votes was actual criminal incitement. Conversely, Waters was speaking after multiple nights of rioting and looting, telling protesters to stay on the streets and get even more confrontational.
