The Hill: White House pressured to recuse legislative director from antitrust talks

November 29, 2022 Media

Advocacy groups urged the White House to recuse the director of the Office of Legislative Affairs from interacting with Congress about key antitrust bills targeting tech giants, pointing to her past work as public policy director at Facebook.

The Revolving Door Project and six other groups said despite there being no legal requirement to recuse Louisa Terrell, the White House should “adopt a higher standard in this matter” and insist on a recusal, according to a copy of a letter exclusively shared with The Hill.

The letter is also signed by the American Economic Liberties Project, Other98, Presente.org, Freedom BLOC, Main Street Alliance and UltraViolet Action.
