FTC deleted documents on controversial rule with 'severe consequences' to economy: Rep Jim Jordan
Fox News
The FTC allegedly deleted key documents related to its new noncompete rule, which House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan says would have "severe consequences" on the American economy.
"This power grab is just the latest example of the Biden FTC straying from the Commission’s mandate in its eagerness to centrally plan the American economy to meet a preferred social agenda. The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of the FTC’s power grab, and we expect your complete cooperation with our requests," he said. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
In a May 31 letter reviewed exclusively by Fox News Digital, that to date, the FTC’s document production has included little more than non-substantive calendar invites and material already publicly available, along with a vague promise to "submit additional productions on a rolling basis as [the FTC] locate[s] responsive documents."
Jordan said that the committee has recently learned "that the FTC has deleted material likely responsive to the Committee’s requests."
