From Fox Business: Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey on Thursday announced an investigation into Google for allegedly suppressing conservative speech during the election cycle.

FOX Business has learned the Republican attorney general plans to subpoena the California-based tech giant to investigate its algorithms and how conservative speech is deemphasized by showing up on later pages.

Bailey has alleged Google is “waging a war on the Democratic process.”

“We have reason to believe that Google is manipulating their search results to deemphasize information about the Trump campaign prior to Election Day,” Bailey said in an exclusive statement to FOX Business. “I will not allow Google to interfere in the most consequential election in our nation’s history.”

“We won’t allow Big Tech to interfere with this election. Stand by,” Bailey first announced on social media Thursday afternoon.

He then added, “BREAKING: I am launching an investigation into Google – the biggest search engine in America – for censoring conservative speech during the most consequential election in our nation’s history. Google is waging war on the democratic process. It’s time to fight back.”

Former college swimmer Riley Gaines wrote, “This is an investigation that every American who cares about free speech and fair elections should be following. Thank you, @AGAndrewBailey, for taking on Google and their interference in our elections.”

“The remedy for disfavored speech in this country has always been counterspeech, not censorship,” Bailey insisted.
