Department of Justice Drops Challenge of Booz Allen-EverWatch Deal
The Department of Justice has abandoned its challenge to Booz Allen Hamilton’s acquisition of signals intelligence contractor EverWatch. In a court filing submitted in late December, the U.S. government said it would not move to reopen the litigation unless either Booz Allen Hamilton or EverWatch withdraw bids for a major signals intelligence contract. It marks the end of a lawsuit that has run since June last year after the Department of Justice sought multiple injunctions to halt the transaction.
