As expected, on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, Makan Delrahim, the Assistant Attorney General (AAG) for the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), stepped down and Joseph Simons, the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), announced that he would step down from the Commission entirely on January 29, 2021, clearing the way for President Biden to appoint new leadership at both Federal antitrust agencies. In addition, Chairman Simons announced the departure of a number of other senior staff from the FTC, including General Counsel Alden F. Abbott; Bureau of Competition Director Ian Conner; Bureau of Competition Deputy Directors Gail Levine and Daniel Francis; Bureau of Consumer Protection Director Andrew Smith; Bureau of Economics Director Andrew Sweeting; Office of Public Affairs Director Cathy MacFarlane; and Office of Policy Planning Director Bilal Sayyed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Trade Commission Chairman Joseph Simons said on Tuesday that he would resign effective Jan. 29, along with members of his senior staff.
Simons, who announced his departure in a news release, did not say why he was leaving, but the FTC’s chief typically leaves when a new administration comes in.
The five-member FTC is also losing Democratic Commissioner Rohit Chopra, who has been nominated to head the Consumer Financial Protection Board.

FTC Chairman Joseph Simons said in a statement he will step down Jan. 29. Sworn in at the position in May 2018, Simons called his time leading the agency “a great honor.”
Other senior staff at the FTC announcing their resignations are General Counsel Alden Abbott, Bureau of Competition Director Ian Conner, Bureau of Competition Deputy Directors Gail Levine and Daniel Francis, Bureau of Consumer Protection Director Andrew Smith, Bureau of Economics Director Andrew Sweeting, Office of Public Affairs Director Cathy MacFarlane, and Office of Policy Planning Director Bilal Sayyed.
On Monday, Biden announced the nomination of FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but he has not yet announced who will take over as chairman at the FTC.
