Washington - The U.S. Justice Department has requested additional information from Microsoft (NASD: MSFT) and Yahoo (NASD: YHOO), related to their proposed deal that would see Microsoft's Bing search engine power Yahoo search results and the two companies share advertising revenue. Both Microsoft and Yahoo confirmed for CNET News.com that they had received requests from additional information from the Justice Department, and that they would cooperate fully with the requests.

Neither would comment on the nature of the additional information requested.

The companies said at the time the deal was announced that they expect it to close in early 2010.
