In a significant legal development, the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily granted former President Trump the authority to fire a Democratic Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioner, Rebecca Slaughter. Chief Justice John Roberts led the decision, which permits Trump to keep Slaughter off the payroll for now, despite long-standing legal precedents. The ruling effectively clears the way for Trump to proceed with the removal, reflecting ongoing debates over presidential powers in appointee dismissals. The case continues to unfold, with the former commissioner expressing concerns about the procedural implications of her dismissal.
