House Democrats Probe NLRB Counsel's Amazon Cases Over Recusal Pledge

Summary
Bobby Scott, Ilhan Omar and Lucy McBath asked NLRB General Counsel Crystal Carey for records of communications with corporate interests about Amazon-related matters, escalating scrutiny of her handling of cases involving the company.
The lawmakers said Carey may not have recused herself from Amazon cases despite testifying at her Senate confirmation hearing last year that she would step aside from matters involving the company.
Carey previously represented Amazon as a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, and Democrats said recent reports suggest her office took actions that appeared to benefit clients of her former law firm.
Their letter argues those actions could undermine the integrity of the labor board, widening pressure on the Trump labor prosecutor over potential conflicts of interest.
