Bloomberg: Trump to Nominate White House Aide Ryan Baasch to FTC

President Trump nominates Ryan Baasch, a White House aide, to join the Federal Trade Commission, replacing Melissa Holyoak who's moving to Utah's U.S. attorney role. Baasch, 37, brings deep experience in shaping economic policies around new technology, including AI, space communication, and modern telecom networks. His nomination comes amidst questions about the FTC's independence, with the Supreme Court set to decide on presidential power over agency heads. All eyes are on Baasch's nomination hearing, as the FTC's role in regulating tech and big companies is crucial, especially with rapidly evolving rules in AI and telecommunications.
