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 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 Perplexity, Microsoft ( MSFT )

and Meta Platforms ( META ).
