Google hid documents and conversations from the government, the DOJ says.

Dintze told the court that Google goes out of its way to hide conversations and keep documents out of the regulator’s hands. Dintzer cited a message where Google CEO Sundar Pichai asked to turn off chat history, and said Google cc’s lawyers on emails where they aren’t needed just to shield the contents under attorney-client privilege.
“They turned history off, your honor, so they could rewrite it here in this courtroom,” Dintzer told the judge.
