Bedoya formally resigns from FTC after firing

Former FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya resigned Monday, months after being fired by President Trump, allowing him to seek other employment. Bedoya's resignation follows his refusal to accept the March firing, along with fellow Democratic commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, and a lawsuit challenging the dismissal. He argued the firings were politically motivated and will continue to pursue the case. The Supreme Court recently allowed Trump to fire other officials, but Bedoya's case continues, now focused on the legality of his termination. He plans to continue dissenting opinions and meet with labor and business leaders.
