.GOPoversight Chairman JamesComer is launching an investigation into FTC Chairwoman Lina Khan after the sudden resignation of FTC Commissioner Christine Wilson earlier this year.
Comer sent a letter Thursday requesting all documents and communications related to allegations made in Wilson's resignation letter, including"abuses of power and disregard for the rule of law and federal ethics standard," per Comer."The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating matters raised by Commissioner Christine S. Wilson’s February 14, 2023, announcement of her unexpected resignation from the Federal Trade Commission .
We seek documents and information to shed light on Commissioner Wilson’s allegations and determine the extent to which the Commission has deviated from its mission to protect America’s consumers,” Comer continued. In the letter, Comer questions whether the FTC has become a"rogue agency" under Khan and inquires as to whether the White House had any influence on Khan's leadership.
“These matters raise questions whether the FTC under Chair Khan has become a rogue agency—particularly given Chair Khan’s drive at the beginning of her tenure to ‘bulldoz[e] procedural safeguards,’ ‘consolidate agency power,’ ‘unilaterally assert and expand regulatory authority,’ and ‘abandon bipartisan and open processes,’" Comer said."We also are concerned whether departures from prior norms under Chair Khan are due to White House influence.
