FTC Chair Ferguson Pursued Big Law Roles Before Trump SI Appointment

US Politics7 days ago

The White House recently disclosed that the leader of the Federal Trade Commission had been reaching out to private firms in an effort to exit his government position. Andrew Ferguson circulated his resume to various law firms throughout the summer before he was appointed to the Special Investigations force for Donald Trump.

Information from the leak suggests that the agency chief has not yet secured a position in private practice despite those efforts. Ferguson, who is a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, now serves as the chair of the FTC.
