A federal judge has ruled that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can proceed with its antitrust lawsuit against Amazon, but also dismissed some claims made by a number of states involved in the legal fight against the e-commerce giant.
The Associated Press reported that Judge John H. Chun of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington issued the order last week, but it was only unsealed on Monday. The ruling of the court is a setback for Amazon, since it has been trying its best to toss the case out of court and avoid a full-blown trial. The court scheduled the trial for the case for October 2026.
