The Justice Department is investigating venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz to determine whether its investment partners are improperly serving on the boards of competing artificial intelligence companies, according to a new report.

Databricks Inc. and Fivetran Inc., the two technology companies backed by Andreessen Horowitz, are under scrutiny by the DOJ, according to a Bloomberg report published Monday. Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz, who serves on the board of Databricks, is known in political circles for donating millions to the campaigns of both President Donald Trump and former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
