Supreme Court Lets Trump Oust Top Consumer-Safety Officials
A divided US Supreme Court let President Donald Trump temporarily remove three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, extending a line of decisions giving the White House more control over independent agencies.
Over dissents from the court's three liberals, the justices on Wednesday put on hold a federal district court decision that said Trump was bound by job protections created by Congress for CPSC members. US District Judge Matthew Maddox's June 13 decision had reinstated the three commissioners after Trump fired them in May.
