We need to enact legislation to address border issues rather than just have campaign talking points.
Thank you, Chair Khan, I want to start by thanking you and the FTC for your work to protect American businesses and workers and consumers on issues ranging from privacy concerns to deceptive business practices, to unwanted telemarketing and robocalls, to fraud and financial exploitation that targets seniors, service members, veterans, and those in recovery from opioid disorder.
Republicans have continued to misrepresent the Hur Report, saying that President Biden had a poor memory. That is not supported by the Special Counsel's own record.
As the Chair acknowledged, we didn't start at 10. We started nearly an hour late or just over an hour late because he and his Republican colleagues had prioritized a meeting with Donald Trump over a Committee hearing and presumably they received their latest marching orders to weaponize congressional power against our criminal justice system because that's what we're seeing here today. It's outrageous.
