.JudiciaryGOP Chairman Jim_Jordan and HouseCommerce Chairwoman cathymcmorris have accused FTC Chairwoman Lina Khan of failing to disclose or abide by the recommendations of the agency's ethics representatives.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and House Energy and Commerce Committee Cathy McMorris Rodgers announced on Wednesday that they are investigating whether Khan had adhered to federal ethics guidance in the Meta v. Within case. Khan pushed for the agency to stop Facebook's parent company from acquiring Within, a virtual reality fitness company, over allegations that it would be a breach of antitrust law, then allegedly attempted to lie about the matter.
Khan's response to Rodgers"omitted an important recommendation by the DAEO and raises serious questions about [her] commitment to the fair and impartial administration of the FTC’s authorities," The two committee chairs wrote. Jordan also asked for transcribed interviews with more than 23 FTC employees in order to"advance the Committee's oversight and inform legislative reforms to the Commission."The FTC attempted to block Meta's acquisition in July 2022 but dismissed the case in February before it was brought before an administrative court.
