BRUSSELS/PARIS, July 13 (Reuters) - France's foreign minister and government minister have called EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager to reconsider her appointment of a U.S. economist and former antitrust official to a senior job at the European Commission overseeing Big Tech. Vestager on Tuesday announced the hiring of Fiona Scott Morton, the former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Justice during former President Barack Obama's tenure. Scott Morton will take up her post on Sept. 1 when the current chief economist, Pierre Regibeau, retires. French foreign minister Catherine Colonna said she was astonished at the appointment. "I invite the @EU_Commission to reconsider their choice."

☆ Twitter sued over $1.9 million invoice that advisory firm Innisfree M&A claims went unpaid

Innisfree M&A claims it was hired to facilitate communications between Twitter and shareholders last year. After Musk's acquisition was finalized, Innisfree sent Twitter an invoice for $1.9 million, which was "processed" a month later. The suit claims Twitter has not responded to Innisfree's invoice and letters since December. The lawsuit is the latest in a string of recent legal and regulatory challenges filed against Twitter, including accusations of unpaid rent, and another unpaid bill from a private jet company, among others. Another San Francisco landlord sued over about $130,000 in unpaid rent in early January, and a real estate company belonging to King Charles III also sued Twitter over unpaid rent at a London office.
☆ A consulting firm is suing Twitter, saying it is owed over $2 million for work it did trying to force through Elon Musk's acquisition

The firm claims it is owed over $2 million for work it did related to forcing through Elon Musk's acquisition. Charles River Associates brought the suit against Twitter in a Massachusetts state court on Thursday, which was first reported by Bloomberg. The companies entered into an agreement in August 2022, and CRA began preliminary work on the materials, court documents say. In the lawsuit, CRA says it sent four invoices to Twitter between September and November 2022 for work totalling $2.19 million, but the social-media company stopped replying to its emails. The companies' contract says the invoices gain 1.5% interest each month, and Twitter hasn't objected to any of the invoices, per the lawsuit.
