The US Supreme Court said it will hear a Trump administration appeal that could topple a 90-year-old precedent and put the White House in control of federal agencies that have long been independent.
The court’s conservative majority also refused to let the person at the center of the case, Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, return to her job during the appeal. President Donald Trump is trying to fire Slaughter despite a law that says commissioners can be removed only for specified reasons.
