The Federal Trade Commission asked a Seattle judge to delay the start of his trial accusing Amazon Duper consumers to register for its prime program, citing resource constraints.
FTC lawyers requested during a status hearing on Wednesday before judge John Chun before the American district court of Washington. Chun had set a start date of September 22 for the trial.
Jonathan Cohen, FTC lawyer, asked Chun a two -month continuation of the case due to the endowment and budgetary deficits.
The FTC’s request to delay due to personnel constraints comes in the midst of a thrust of the Trump administration ministry’s efficiency to reduce expenses. DOGE, led by the Baron of Elon Musk technology, reduced the workforce of the federal government by more than 62,000 workers in February only.
“We have lost employees in the agency, in our division and in our case team,” Cohen told Chun.
