The Trump administration has submitted an urgent request to the Supreme Court seeking permission to fire Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This comes after a series of legal defeats where appeals courts have blocked his attempts to remove the FTC member, citing a longstanding 90-year-old precedent regarding presidential removal powers. As the case progresses, the administration aims to challenge the reinstatement of Slaughter, arguing for the ability to immediately remove her from office.
