Amazon wants FTC Chair Lina Khan recused from all its cases
CNN
Amazon has formally requested that newly appointed Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan be recused from all Amazon-related antitrust cases before the agency.
The e-commerce giant filed a petition to the FTC on Wednesday suggesting that Khan -- an outspoken tech critic who has played a key role in driving antitrust scrutiny of the industry and Amazon in particular -- lacks objectivity, according to a copy obtained by CNN Business. Khan, the petition reads, "has on numerous occasions argued that Amazon is guilty of antitrust violations and should be broken up. These statements convey to any reasonable observer the clear impression that she has already made up her mind about many material facts relevant to Amazon's antitrust culpability as well as about the ultimate issue of culpability itself."More Related News
