FTC chairman praises lawyer on Google case

The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission called the Washington attorney hired by the agency to help determine possible antitrust action against Google a "world-class litigator" and said it is still examining the case. Chairman Jon Leibowitz said the recent hiring of former Justice Department prosecutor Beth Wilkinson gives the FTC some ammunition to go up against Google's high-powered legal team, but said the commission is still gathering evidence to see if there is a case.
