Trump Asks Supreme Court to Let Him Fire Top Agency Officials
Summary by Bloomberg Al
■ President Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to allow him to immediately fire top officials at two independent agencies.
■ The case is testing a 90-year-old Supreme Court ruling that lets Congress shield high-ranking officials from being fired by the president.
The outcome could determine whether Trump has the power to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and could also impact the job security of other agency officials.
