Bedoya warns of corruption risk following Trump firing
Alvaro Bedoya, recently fired from his position at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), warned of “total chaos” in the country under President Donald Trump's leadership. Speaking on CNN, he expressed concern over his dismissal, which he said lacked any legitimate reason or justification. Bedoya stated that his termination was illegal. He explained that the law requires a valid cause for such decisions, which can include inefficiency or neglect. However, he claimed that none of these reasons were given for his firing. He also hinted that his dismissal may be linked to his criticism of billionaire Jeff Bezos and his treatment of Amazon warehouse workers. Bedoya noted that significant financial contributions were made to Trump’s inauguration by Amazon and questioned whether corporate interests were influencing decisions within the government. Despite the Trump administration's vow to challenge his legal case, Bedoya remains resolute. He said he is ready to confront them in court. He described the situation surrounding his firing as unprecedented, leaving many unsure of what might happen next. Bedoya speculated that his termination could benefit wealthy individuals associated with Trump.
