Top Republicans accuse FTC chair of Hatch Act violations over 'campaign-style events' with Dems
Fox News
Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. Mike Lee are accusing FTC Chair Lina Khan of Hatch Act violations.
"According to recent reports, you appeared at a series of events in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin and Arizona with several candidates for elected office. Media accounts described your tour as a ‘campaign gauntlet’ with the timing of your events ‘so near the election… hard to ignore,'" the lawmakers wrote in a letter sent on Monday to the chair. Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate. She was previously a politics reporter at the Washington Examiner.
"These campaign-style events create the appearance that you are using your official position to advocate for the election of certain Democrat candidates." Follow Julia's reporting on X at @JuliaaJohnson_ and send tips to Julia.Johnson@fox.com.
