The Trump campaign is calling out a potential conflict of interest ahead of the first presidential debate.
The Trump campaign told Fox News Digital that Karen Dunn, who is part of the team prepping Vice President Kamala Harris for the Sept. 10 showdown, is simultaneously working as Google’s lead defense attorney in the Biden-Harris administration’s lawsuit against the tech giant.
That lawsuit, United States v. Google LLC is the Biden-Harris administration’s antitrust lawsuit targeting Google’s digital advertising practices. The trial is set to begin Sept. 9 — a day before the first presidential debate.
Dunn, who is Google’s outside counsel through law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, is listed in the lawsuit as a “lead attorney.”

Dunn also advised Harris ahead of her 2020 vice presidential debate against then-Vice President Mike Pence.
“Kamala Harris will never stand up to Big Tech because she’s being coached on what to say in the debates by Google’s top lawyer,” Trump campaign senior adviser Tim Murtaugh told Fox News Digital. “Think about how outrageous it is — their administration is suing Google, but Harris is taking political advice from the defendant’s lawyer.”
Murtaugh said, “any first year law student knows that’s a conflict of interest.”
“But it’s not surprising because Big Tech and the Biden-Harris White House have been conspiring to censor and trample the rights of law-abiding citizens since they gained power,” he said.
Murtaugh added, “They don’t even try to hide their cozy relationship — it’s all been reported by the media — but it is disgusting and dangerous.”
