Democratic FTC commissioner Bedoya says he will step down
WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) - One of the two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission who has challenged his firing by President Donald Trump said on Monday he was stepping down.
Alvaro Bedoya said he would step down to comply with ethics rules but will remain a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging his dismissal. "I love this work. But I'm not getting paid for it," Bedoya said. "But my number one job is to take care of my family."
The FTC is currently led by three Republicans.
