[Trump Administration Plans to Appoint FTC Chair to Lead DOJ's New Anti-Fraud Division] Odaily Planet Daily News: According to informed sources, Trump administration officials are considering appointing Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Andrew Ferguson as the head of the Department of Justice's newly established division responsible for combating nationwide fraud. Ferguson will continue to serve as FTC Chair. Vice President Vance stated last week that the division will be overseen by the White House and will have nationwide jurisdiction over fraud issues. Vance also mentioned that the Department of Justice will create a new Assistant Attorney General position to lead related fraud investigations. This structure will blur the traditional boundaries between the President and the Department of Justice, which already has multiple divisions dedicated to criminal and civil fraud investigations. The law explicitly prohibits commissioners from "engaging in any other business, profession, or employment." It is currently unclear whether this provision will affect Ferguson's ability to take on the new role.
