Among the many policy riders House Republicans placed in their fiscal 2025 Financial Services spending bill is one that would curtail a Federal Trade Commission probe of a cyberattack last year at MGM Resorts.
Though the bill’s language doesn’t name the company directly, the item could stem from an incident last year involving FTC Chair Lina Khan.
The House had planned to vote this week on the Financial Services bill, which would also cut the FTC’s budget by 27 percent from its requested amount, though that plan was postponed as of Monday.
