House, Senate Republicans team up to crack down on FTC for destroying documents related to congressional probe
Fox News
Top Republicans on Capitol Hill are pushing the FTC for answers after it was revealed that the agency destroyed documents related to a congressional probe.
"Congress and the public deserve an explanation of why the FTC improperly destroyed records, what records it improperly destroyed, and what steps will be taken to ensure it never happens again," Cruz wrote, joined by Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. James Comer, a Kentucky Republican and the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The letter by Republican legislators comes about a year and a half after the FTC's in-house watchdog, the Office of Inspector General (OIG), found multiple failure's in the FTC's record-keeping process.
