FTC lawyer takes back what he said about not having enough resources in Amazon trial.

An FTC lawyer said the agency needed more time and money for the Amazon trial. He said this was because the FTC had fewer workers and less money.

Later that day, the lawyer said he made a mistake. He said the FTC had enough money and workers to handle the case.

The FTC leader also said the lawyer was wrong. He promised to give the FTC the things it needed to do a good job on the case.

The case is about whether Amazon tricked people into joining its Prime program. The FTC also says it was too hard for people to cancel Prime.

The lawyer first said the FTC was having problems because some workers quit. He said it was hard to hire new workers because the government stopped hiring for a while.
