Chairwoman Lina Khan's FTC is out of control, and Congress must act WashTimesOpEd
And while the party in the White House naturally changes the direction of the FTC, we have never seen a more aggressive, punitive and dictatorial version than we are right now.
In recent years, the FTC’s focus has been to provide regulatory oversight when and where it’s deemed worthy. The FTC’s failures stem from weak lawsuits without legislative support or Congressional guidance. “The move demonstrates Khan’s new, more aggressive approach to antitrust enforcement compared with her predecessors — as well as the challenges she faces in bringing the agency along with her,” Bloomberg reported.
According to her Wall Street Journal column, “Why I’m Resigning as an FTC Commissioner,” Ms. Wilson resigned, citing that “Since Ms. Khan’s confirmation in 2021, my staff and I have spent countless hours seeking to uncover her abuses of government power. That task has become increasingly difficult as she has consolidated power within the Office of the Chairman, breaking decades of bipartisan precedent and undermining the commission structure that Congress wrote into law.
