WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said on Friday it would not change course despite criticism from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce about a series of actions spearheaded by FTC Chair Lina Khan.
The Chamber of Commerce said on Friday it had written three letters and filed more than 30 Freedom of Information Act requests about what it said were FTC failures to strictly follow rules and giving into political interference.
The Chamber said it was particularly concerned about votes cast by Commissioner Rohit Chopra before he left the FTC but which were announced after his departure. He now heads the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Chamber expressed concern about what it said was White House interference in FTC decision-making and the agency’s decision to use civil penalty authority.
