知情人士透露，特朗普时期的前反垄断执法官盖尔·斯莱特（Gail Slater）一直在探讨重返反垄断法私人执业领域，为试图在不可预测的政府监管下通过并购交易的公司提供咨询。
Former Trump antitrust enforcer Gail Slater has held discussions about returning to the private practice of antitrust law, people familiar with the matter tell us, advising companies trying to get mergers past an unpredictable administration.
作为《美国优先反垄断》（America First Antitrust）的作者和JD·万斯（JD Vance）的前参议院助手，斯莱特在特朗普第二任期之初带来了强硬的执法理念。然而，随着政府转向亲企业路线，并在涉及慧与（HPE）和Live Nation（其中外部游说者的角色引发了批评）的并购内部斗争中失利，她被边缘化。知情人士称，斯莱特一直在与华盛顿特区至少一家律师事务所就以合伙人身份加入进行面试。斯莱特对此拒绝置评。
The author of America First Antitrust and former Senate aide to JD Vance, Slater brought a tough enforcement mindset to the early months of Trump’s second term, but was marginalized as the administration took a pro-corporate turn and lost internal fights over mergers involving HPE and Live Nation, where the role of outside lobbyists drew criticism. Slater has been interviewing with at least one Washington, DC law firm about joining as a partner, these people said. Slater declined to comment.
