FTC Chair Lina Khan is reportedly meeting with Amazon (AMZN) representatives in what could be the last face-to-face meeting before the FTC files an antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant. Yahoo Finance Legal Correspondent Alexis Keenan and Yahoo Finance Tech Editor Dan Howley discuss the details of the potential meeting and potential lawsuit. 

Keenan said, "If the FTC does go forward ... it could ask its own in-house court judge to break up this $1.4 trillion company."

FTC Chair Lina Khan has also filed cases against Meta's Facebook (META) and recently lost another case against Microsoft (MSFT).

Howley added that there are reports "that Amazon is cutting back on some of its branding ... cutting down those numbers to maybe three when it comes to apparel," and that "that could help push off some of the criticism."
