DOJ Investigating Billionaire-Led Andreessen Horowitz -- Despite Its Trump Ties, Report Says

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz for potential antitrust violations, Bloomberg reported Monday. The probe has reportedly been underway for nearly a year and appears tied to conflicts that could arise when partners sit on boards of AI companies where the firm also holds stakes. Bloomberg cites concerns involving Databricks Inc. and Fivetran Inc. and the possibility that serving on competing boards may violate antitrust rules. It’s unclear whether penalties will follow, though Bloomberg notes such inquiries often end with board resignations. The firm’s close ties to the Trump White House are a notable backdrop.
