Lina Khan's Capitol Hill Grilling: Antitrust, Ethics, and Inquisition
Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan is set to face questioning on Capitol Hill regarding alleged mismanagement of staff, an overly burdensome merger review process, and alleged harassment of Twitter. Republicans plan to criticize Khan's leadership and the low morale among FTC staff. They also intend to question her on her refusal to provide relevant documents and potential coordination with foreign regulators or Democratic allies. The scrutiny comes after a federal judge rejected Khan's attempt to block Microsoft's purchase of Activision.
