Christine Wilson, the sole Republican on the Federal Trade Commission, said Tuesday she will resign soon, blaming the move on the agency’s top official, Lina Khan.
“Much ink has been spilled about Lina Khan’s attempts to remake federal antitrust law as chairman of the Federal Trade Commission,” Wilson wrote in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal. “Less has been said about her disregard for the rule of law and due process and the way senior FTC officials enable her.”Her departure will not change the balance of power in the commission.

Wilson accused the Biden administration FTC of overstepping by being too aggressive in stopping mergers and banning most noncompete clauses.
