Trump picks Warren ally, former CFPB assistant director Rohit Chopra for FTC post 

In what might seem like an unlikely move, President Donald Trump selected Rohit Chopra to serve as a member of the Federal Trade Commission. Chopra’s selection comes as bit of surprise, considering that Chopra is a close ally of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a former member of Hillary Clinton’s transition team, a former Obama administration official, and a former assistant director of the CFPB. But due to FTC rules, some bipartisanship is necessary among the FTC Commissioners.
