President Donald Trump on Thursday The Supreme Court asked the Federal Commercial Commission to allow the commissioner Rebecca Slaughter to fire, which ordered the courts to be restored after he terminated him.
Trump wants the Supreme Court to pause the restoration of the case while appealing the case.
“President Trump, Rebecca Slaughter from FTC, said in a statement, White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement. He said.
“Indeed, the Supreme Court confirmed the authority to remove the presidents of the president of the president twice in the last few months. We look forward to the third time to be verified – and I hope after this decision, the sub -courts will stop their challenge for Supreme Court orders.”
In March, Trump lifted Slaughter and another democratic commission member Alvaro Bedoya as part of an expanding effort to implement its impact on federal agencies.
Slaughter and Bedoya then tried to be restored by suing Trump. However, Bedoya resigned from FTC in June and fell his case.
In July, a US regional court judge on Washington DC decided that Slaughter’s fire was illegal.
On Tuesday, the 2-1 decision, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeal on DC approved this decision.
This decision has decided that FTC commissioners could not be removed unless they are defined as neglect or ill -treatment in the office.
Trump did not give any reason to fire the massacre.
“The government has no possibility of success in appeal.” He said.
Slaughter returned to work at FTC after the decision of the Court of Appeal.
Slaughter’s case raises the question of whether Trump is the legal “reason” to justify a federal regulator in recent weeks.
The “reason” problem is the basis of Trump’s effort to remove the role of Federal Reserve Board of Directors Lisa Cook, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden.
Last month, Trump moved to Fire Cook on the allegations of Mortgage fraud, claiming that his lawyer had rejected, and established a court war that could also result in the Supreme Court.
A court hearing on the issue ended last week without making a decision and left the future of Cook’s position uncertain.
