In perhaps one of the most significant moves of President Donald J. Trump’s administration, the Department of Justice looks set to investigate bias against conservatives from Silicon Valley tech companies.

“Attorney General Jeff Sessions is exploring a potential investigation of social media companies and will be briefed on Sept. 25 by Republican state attorneys general who are already examining the firms’ practices, according to two people familiar with the matter,” said a Tuesday report.
