Friday: GoDaddy CEO donates $1,000,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund
Monday: Trump takes office
Tuesday: Senate confirms new FTC chair
Wednesday: FTC announces a settlement with GoDaddy where the FTC will withdraw the case and GoDaddy agrees to a $125,000 penalty paid over the next five years
Tangent to the original discussion, but Trump is currently suing the Justice Department for raiding Mar-a-lago (back when we actually had hope that this man would be held to account for his crimes). When he takes office, he could ostensibly direct the Justice Department to settle the case and pay him a settlement.
