Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan fended off Republican attacks over her adherence to ethics laws and aggressive antitrust enforcement at a heated congressional hearing Thursday, during which she was labeled a “bully” and told her leadership was “a disaster.”
Kahn calmly defended her participation in a case involving Meta Platforms Inc. despite a recommendation from the agency’s top ethics officer, explaining that she had no financial stake in that company or any others that the FTC is investigating.
