U.S. Representative Ben Cline reintroduced the One Agency Act, which would remove FTC 's antitrust authority and give it to the Department of Justice .

The two agencies have shared federal antitrust jurisdiction for more than 100 years .

Outgoing FTC Chair Lina Khan 's skeptical stance towards company mergers and expansive view of the agency's authority drew criticism from some in the business community.
