) in business disputes, has received requests for information from congressional and state investigators looking into allegations that Google violated antitrust law.
Oracle, which is knowledgeable about Google’s advertising business, has received information requests from the Texas attorney general’s office and the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, said Ken Glueck, an Oracle executive based in Washington.
