About the Episode
Two Democratic commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission sued the Trump administration after being fired before their terms expired. The independent agency, designed to be bipartisan, protects consumers and enforces antitrust laws. The White House defended the move but Democrats argue the firings invite corruption. Amna Nawaz spoke with one of the fired commissioners, Alvaro Bedoya.
