Facebook Inc FB has sought respite from Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Lina Khan from the agency's antitrust case discussions against the social media company, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Facebook defended the request citing Khan's public comments against the company, emphasizing her bias, Bloomberg reports.
Amazon had recently made an identical request on similar grounds.
The FTC needs to decide about filing a new antitrust lawsuit against Facebook after a judge dismissed the previous case over lack of evidence.
Price action: FB shares traded lower by 0.82% at $349.20 on the last check Wednesday.
