Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Lina Khan is under fire for allegedly colluding with foreign regulators to cramp American businesses with rules crafted by European officials.
Federal lawmakers have concerns Ms. Khan is deliberately circumventing the U.S. lawmaking process to impose her own political agenda, and Sen. Ted Cruz is digging into Ms. Khan’s work with European regulators.
Mr. Cruz said two European Union-approved laws, the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act, hit the U.S. hardest while leaving European and Chinese competitors unscathed. The FTC, which is focused on competitive harms from businesses, dispatched officials to Brussels earlier this year to help implement the rules.
Ms. Khan has unsuccessfully targeted American Big Tech companies over antitrust concerns, losing battles to block mergers by Facebook and Microsoft. Mr. Cruz said the U.K. took action to try and stop a Microsoft acquisition opposed by Ms. Khan soon after she met with U.K. regulators. Rep. Kevin Kiley, California Republican, questioned Ms. Khan last month about whether she was intentionally picking losing legal fights to create the appearance of insufficient laws.
