The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) doesn’t have any staffing issues that will impact its ability to face Amazon in trial, after all.
An attorney for the government initially stated that they needed a two-month delay in the trial start date due to resource constraints and lost employees within the agency.
However, the attorney later filed a letter clarifying that the FTC does not have resource constraints and is fully prepared to litigate the case.
The flip-flop raises questions about the true impact of government cuts on enforcement agencies like the FTC.
