As US Vice President Kamala Harris gears up for a potential showdown with former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, her campaign has enlisted the help of high-powered lawyer Karen Dunn. Dunn, a partner at Paul, Weiss law firm, has been coaching Harris for her upcoming debates, raising questions about her dual role.

While prepping Harris, Dunn is also leading the defense for Google in a high-stakes antitrust case brought by the Biden administration, alleging the tech giant monopolized the online advertising market. This legal battle is seen as a landmark trial that could significantly impact Google’s future in the digital space.
Dunn’s involvement in both Harris’ campaign and Google’s defense has sparked controversy, with antitrust experts expressing concern over a potential conflict of interest. Critics argue it is problematic for Harris to receive guidance from a lawyer representing a company facing legal action by her own administration. Some have labeled the situation "outrageous," raising ethical questions about the overlap between political and legal alliances.
Despite the concerns, Dunn’s role in Harris’ preparations for the campaign continues, while the Google antitrust trial moves forward. Both situations are being closely watched for further developments.
