Market Chatter: Supreme Court Upholds Trump's Firing of FTC Commissioner

The US Supreme Court on Monday upheld President Donald Trump's firing of Democratic Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter, Reuters reported.

The decision expands presidential authority over federal agencies and overturns a 1935 precedent that had protected certain agency leaders from being removed without cause, the report said.

The FTC didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.

In a separate matter, the Supreme Court left in place a lower-court injunction that bars Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while litigation continues.
