What are the odds this case will continue to be pursued honestly under the Trump administration?

Pretty high. Antitrust against Google started during the first Trump administration and continued during Biden. Dealing with Big Tech is a bipartisan issue, though each side has partisan reasons for it: Republicans argue tech companies have a liberal bent, Democrats argue tech companies allowed misinformation to get Trump elected. At the end of the day, we can all agree it's time for Google to go.

I think the only real risk is that Google could just buy Trump out on the matter, now that we live in Russia of the West, resolving a dispute like this can just be lining someone's pockets enough.
