Biden to Nominate Lina Khan for FTC Commissioner Seat

President Joe Biden will nominate Lina Khan to be an FTC commissioner, the White House announced Monday, as expected (see 2103170066). An associate professor at Columbia Law School, Khan previously was a staffer for the House Antitrust Subcommittee and FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra. Khan’s “creative energy, groundbreaking antitrust work, and passion for the FTC’s mission make her an excellent nominee,” said acting FTC Chair Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. “I wish her a speedy confirmation.”
