Our top story tonight: Lawyers from the Department of Justice are considering a breakup of Google, following a recent ruling that the company holds a monopoly in the search engine market. In a detailed filing, options for both behavioral and structural remedies have been proposed, which may include the divestment of key business units like Android and Chrome. Google has responded, arguing that such actions could disrupt the very services that have made it a leader in the industry.
