EXCLUSIVE: Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey on Thursday announced an investigation into Google for allegedly suppressing conservative speech during the election cycle.

FOX Business has learned the Republican attorney general plans to subpoena the California-based tech giant to investigate its algorithms and how conservative speech is deemphasized by showing up on later pages.

Bailey has alleged that Google is "waging a war on the Democratic process."

"We have reason to believe that Google is manipulating their search results to deemphasize information about the Trump campaign prior to Election Day," Bailey said in an exclusive statement to FOX Business. "I will not allow Google to interfere in the most consequential election in our nation's history."

FOX Business has reached out to Google for a response.
