Usa Republican candidate Trump called for criminal prosecution against Google on Friday, claiming that the company favors his opponent, usa's current Vice President Harris, in online search results.

Trump wrote on social media that if the Department of Justice does not prosecute Google for this "overt election interference," he will sue the company when he "wins the election and becomes President of usa."

He seems to be responding to a new study from the right-leaning Media Research Center. The study reportedly found that when users search for "Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign," Google search engine results often display news articles favorable to Democratic candidate Harris rather than Trump's own campaign website.

Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social: "It has been determined that Google has illegally used a system to reveal and display only bad stories about me, some of which are fabricated for this purpose, while only disclosing good stories about Harris."

MRC founder Brent Bozell earlier this week said, "Google is trying to stack the deck for Kamala Harris."

A Google spokesperson at the time stated: "In relevant and common search queries, both campaign websites always appear at the top of the search results." "This report focuses on a rare search term from several weeks ago, and even in that search term, both candidates' websites ranked at the top of Google search results."

The spokesperson also said on Friday that MRC's report focuses on a "very unusual issue" and states that the conclusions of the report are incorrect.

The spokesperson said, "Queries about presidential elections or candidates usually lead to some links that point to constantly changing news articles that reflect online content, so they are constantly changing." "We will absolutely not manipulate search results to favor any candidate."

In fact, according to media reports, Donald Trump's campaign website ranks higher in Google search results compared to other search engines.
