Nov 26 (Reuters) - A trial on the U.S. Department of Justice's proposals to
diminish Google's dominance in online search will not be delayed to give Trump
administration officials more time to revise the request, the judge overseeing
the case said on Tuesday.
The DOJ has proposed forcing Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google to sell
its Chrome browser, and potentially the Android mobile operating system, to take
away distribution points for Google search. President-elect Donald Trump
expressed skepticism about a Google breakup in October.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington said he would not move the trial,
scheduled for April, in the event that DOJ officials appointed by Trump intend
to revise the proposals.
"If there is going to be a re-evaluation of the remedies that are being
requested, it needs to be done quickly," the judge said at a hearing.
The DOJ sued Google in 2020, during Trump's first term. Mehta ruled in August
that Google holds an illegal monopoly in online search and related advertising.

The DOJ under U.S. President Joe Biden has proposed not only to make Google sell
the world's most widely used Web browser, but also to share data and search
results with rivals.
The wide-ranging proposal also seeks to prohibit Google to from buying or
investing in search rivals, query-based artificial intelligence products or
advertising technology.
Google has called the proposals "staggering," and said they would harm American
competitiveness.

How artificial intelligence affects the landscape for online search is expected
to be a key theme at the trial. Prosecutors have said they plan to call
witnesses from ChatGPT creator OpenAI, artificial intelligence startup
