Summary

In November, the Department of Justice made headlines when they announced a settlement with the software company RealPage in the DOJ's lawsuit against the company for antitrust violations. But, some have questioned that strategy, especially with several state governments pursuing action against the company. In this episode of Second Request , Executive Editor Teddy Downey unpacks the DOJ's settlement with David O. Fisher, Senior Counsel at the American Antitrust Institute, and the author of the recent commentary " Closing Costs, a Critical Examination of the DOJ's Proposed RealPage Settlement .” To learn more about The Capitol Forum follow us on Bluesky and Linkedin .
