President Donald Trump fired two Democratic commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, both of whom now say they plan to sue to get their jobs back. The firings come after a long-standing dispute between the White House and the FTC over the agency's authority to investigate antitrust cases involving tech companies. The move is seen as a major blow to the FTC's ability to regulate the tech industry. The fired commissioners have vowed to take legal action to regain their positions.
