'Total chaos': Ousted official warns ‘world of corruption’ looms under Trump

Speaking out days after President Donald Trump fired him from his position as a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission, Alvaro Bedoya warned Thursday that the country is headed for “total chaos” – and offered a hint at what could have laid the groundwork to his ouster.

Bedoya, who began serving as an FTC commissioner in May 2022, told CNN’s Erin Burnett that his firing two days earlier came without any reason to justify the decision.

“None whatsoever,” Bedoya said in an interview on Thursday. “And that's why I’m confident that this was illegal because the law says – and the Supreme Court has ratified – this needs to be done for cause it can't just be because the president doesn't like what I think. It has to be done for inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance, and they allege none of those things.”

The now-former FTC commissioner added that while he doesn’t “want to speculate” about an ulterior motive behind his termination, he told Burnett that his last public statement before his firing was one that called out billionaire CEO Jeff Bezos for his treatment of warehouse workers.
