Trump drops WeatherTech founder as FTC nominee in favor of an agency veteran.

The president wants more Republicans confirmed before Democrats take control of the Senate. Trump said the WeatherTech founder would instead become “Special Envoy for Manufacturing” and the FTC’s former consumer protection director Christopher Mufarrige would be nominated to the agency. The Senate Commerce Committee is considering another FTC nominee Tuesday.

According to Reuters’ sources, the FTC was investigating Shein over “delivery delays and other customer complaints,” adding that the settlement would be “equivalent to 44% of Shein’s second-quarter profit.” The European Union also opened an investigation into Shein earlier this year over concerns about “addictive design” features and illegal product listings.
