Google has asked the Justice Department to rescind a Biden -era request that a judge force Google to divest its Chrome web browser and essentially break itself up.

The final decision on what happens to Google 's $2 trillion empire will be in the hands of federal judge Amit Mehta , who ruled last August that Google illegally monopolized online markets for general search and text.

Google 's new request to DOJ is based on national security concerns.

Google 's CEO Sundar Pichai says he doesn't have "any particular insights" into the case.

The company, he added, will "defend ourselves there" What remedies it eventually faces could have implications for other tech giants.

The FTC has accused Facebook of stifling competition in the market for personal networking services.
