WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Lina Khan, who headed the U.S. Federal Trade Commission under former President Joe Biden until Monday, will resign from the commission in the coming weeks, she told staff in a memo.

Republican Commissioner Andrew Ferguson is now the agency’s chair after President Donald Trump took office. A source told Reuters on Monday that Khan plans to use her remaining time as a commissioner to complete document retention and records management tasks required by law and other administrative tasks.
