\n The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a significant win Monday by allowing him to remove the leaders of once-independent federal agencies at will, toppling a 1935 precedent in the process that could reorder the way the government functions.\n <\/p>

\n At the same time, the court made it far harder for this or future presidents to remove members of the Federal Reserve \u2014 blocking the Trump administration, for now, from ending the tenure of Fed Governor Lisa Cook over contested allegations of mortgage fraud.\n <\/p>\n

\n The decisions were the latest development in a series of controversies that erupted during the first months of Trump\u2019s second term. He sought to fire critics within the government despite federal laws that protected them by requiring a president to show cause \u2014 such as malfeasance \u2014 before booting them from office.\n <\/p>\n

\nTrump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million after Supreme Court denies his appeal of sexual abuse verdict<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

4 min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n Meanwhile, the court dealt Trump a personal defeat, letting stand the verdict against him for sexually abusing and defaming former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. By declining to hear Trump\u2019s appeal, the court paved the way for Carroll to collect $5 million in damages.\n <\/p>\n

\n In a separate ruling, the justices also allowed states to collect and count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, a decision that comes as Trump lobbies Congress to limit mail voting and pass a voter ID law.\n <\/p>\n

\n Here are the key takeaways from the court\u2019s major decisions Monday:\n <\/p>\n

\n Split decision on presidential power\n<\/h2>\n

\n The Supreme Court handed down two opinions at the same time on Monday on the firing of government officials \u2013 one that was a loss for Trump and the other that was a win.\n <\/p>\n

\n The more significant decision, , centered on Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, whom Trump fired from the Federal Trade Commission last year despite a federal law that requires presidents to show cause \u2014 such as malfeasance \u2014 before booting commissioners.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump had argued that, as the head of the executive branch, he should have the power to control the leaders of independent agencies within the federal government and that the law intended to shield those officials from removal violated separation of powers principles.\n <\/p>\n

\n Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts largely agreed.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cSubordinates who exercise the president\u2019s power are subject to removal by him,\u201d Roberts wrote. \u201cThen, and only then, can they remain accountable to the president, and the president to the people.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The second case, , also touched on the president\u2019s ability to remove an official \u2014 but under different circumstances. In that case, Trump attempted to dump Cook based on allegations that she had committed mortgage fraud.\n <\/p>\n

\n The president announced the firing on social media last year, posting a letter that accused Cook of \u201cdeceitful and potentially criminal conduct\u201d because she allegedly claimed two different homes as her primary residence in 2021.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cook has denied any wrongdoing and has called the charges \u201cmanufactured.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Slaughter, meanwhile, decried the ruling against her and called the major difference between the two issues.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cSomehow Wall Street is special and gets special treatment, but other than that, the agencies that look out for everyday Americans do not,\u201d Slaughter said at a news conference Monday.\n <\/p>\n

\nAlito\u2019s testy reaction to Sotomayor underscores tensions at Supreme Court<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

6 min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n Humphrey\u2019s Executor executed\n<\/h2>\n

\n The Supreme Court\u2019s conservative majority could have taken a more limited way out of the Slaughter case. It could have ruled, for instance, that the power of the FTC has grown so vast since it was created in 1914 that it no longer qualified as agency that should be independent from the leader of the executive branch.\n <\/p>\n

\n While the court did say those things, it also steered to a broad outcome by overruling a 1935 Supreme Court precedent known as Humphrey\u2019s Executor v. US that allowed Congress to include restrictions on when a president may fire the leaders of certain independent agencies.\n <\/p>\n

\n Roberts\u2019 disdain for Humphrey\u2019s virtually dripped off the page of his opinion.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIf anything more is left of Humphrey\u2019s, we overrule it,\u201d Roberts wrote. \u201cHumphrey\u2019s has for decades been a result in search of a rationale.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court\u2019s senior liberal, read an impassioned dissent warning that the decision could lead to \u201conly chaos.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Taking the rare step of reading from the bench \u2014 a sign of her strong disagreement \u2013 Sotomayor warned the decision would \u201cfundamentally recalibrate the balance of power in the nation.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Sotomayor wrote that the decision \u201cundoes centuries of political practice\u201d and would ultimately make the federal government worse.\n <\/p>\n

\nHumphrey\u2019s Executor dates back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s tenure. Roosevelt fired an FTC commissioner, William Humphrey, in 1933 who had been appointed by President Herbert Hoover. Humphrey argued that his firing violated the law and his estate sought to recover his salary.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Supreme Court unanimously agreed at the time that his dismissal was improper.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the decades since, the precedent has shielded some two dozen independent agencies from presidential interference, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Federal Communications Commission and the National Transportation Safety Board, among others. To fire the leaders of those agencies, presidents needed to show cause.\n <\/p>\n

\n Now, they likely will not.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAlthough it is up to the Senate to decide whether to confirm those with whom the president would prefer to work, neither Congress nor the courts may saddle him with those with whom he cannot work,\u201d Roberts wrote. \u201cSubordinates who exercise the president\u2019s power are subject to removal by him.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump v. Cook fight will continue\n<\/h2>\n

\n Though Cook won her battle in the fight over Trump\u2019s ability to fire her, whether she wins the ultimate war over her job remains an open question \u2013 and one that is likely to return to the Supreme Court in the future.\n <\/p>\n

\n The high court\u2019s decision Monday dealt partly with the technical \u2013 yet hugely consequential \u2013 question of whether Cook should be allowed to remain on the Federal Reserve Board while she challenges the president\u2019s bid to remove her. But the ruling, delivered in an opinion also penned by Roberts, made clear that there may be a world in which Trump can lawfully fire her.\n <\/p>\n

\n Roberts and the four justices who signed on to his opinion (conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh and liberal Justices Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson) said federal law required Trump to give Cook adequate due process before firing her. The president\u2019s decision to announce her ousting via a curt social media post, Roberts wrote, was insufficient.\n <\/p>\n

\n Instead, the chief said, she \u201cwas entitled to some explanation of the evidence at issue, some avenue for a response, and a deadline by which a response would be due.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump will now have to provide her with a chance to contest the allegations lodged against her. After that happens, lower courts will be able to scrutinize \u201cthe validity and sufficiency of such charges\u201d with the benefit of having a more developed factual record in hand, Roberts wrote.\n <\/p>

\n Without some form of review, the court said, the president would have power to remove Fed leaders \u201cat any time, for any reason, without any notice before, and without any judicial check after. That would turn for-cause protection into little more than at-will employment.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n That means that the case is all but certain to land back at the high court at some point. \u201cThe ultimate question of whether the President can remove Cook for cause will depend in part on the underlying facts,\u201d Roberts wrote.\n <\/p>\n

\n For now, while that review happens, Cook will remain in her job.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump quickly seized on the \u201cstrictly procedural basis\u201d on which the court resolved the case on Monday, writing in a post on Truth Social that his administration \u201cwill take appropriate action immediately\u201d to try to keep Cook off the board.\n <\/p>\n

\n Unease over \u2018destabilizing\u2019 the economy\n<\/h2>\n

\n Looming large over Cook\u2019s case were concerns from economists, politicians and others about the possibility of Trump triggering economic ruin if he was allowed to fire members of the Federal Reserve with little to no oversight.\n <\/p>\n

\n Kavanaugh, who was put on the bench by Trump, made clear that he shares that anxiety.\n <\/p>\n

\n He wrote in a concurring opinion that if the court permitted Trump to fire Cook for now, it would leave unanswered the question of whether the nation\u2019s central bank is a truly independent body.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cLeaving that question open would create significant uncertainty about whether the Court might soon eliminate the Federal Reserve\u2019s independence, and thereby expose the Federal Reserve to political influences and jeopardize the efficacy of U. S. monetary policy,\u201d Kavanaugh wrote. \u201cEven temporary uncertainty about the status of the Federal Reserve could spark \u2026 turmoil in the US and world economies.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI would not go down that road. I would not risk destabilizing the US economy,\u201d he wrote in part.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cook\u2019s attorneys had leaned hard into the potential economic consequences of a win for Trump. It was clear that, in this case at least, the justices were listening.\n <\/p>\n

\n Economists broadly agree that an independent Fed is essential for a stable US economy. The Federal Reserve addresses times of high inflation and high unemployment by swaying interest rates in either direction based on what economic figures show. A politicized Fed would mean the US central bank isn\u2019t doing what\u2019s in the best interest of the US economy.\n <\/p>\n

\n Fellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, however, disagreed with Kavanaugh\u2019s premise that the Fed has been a good steward of the US economy. He wrote in a dissenting opinion that \u201cmany do not share the court\u2019s rosy appraisal of the past century.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cBut if the court prefers an independent Federal Reserve Board, then its issue is not with the President but with the Constitution,\u201d Thomas wrote.\n <\/p>\n

\n Mail-in ballot ruling angers Trump\n<\/h2>\n

\n In another high-profile move, the justices upheld state laws that count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day \u2013 which amounted to a repudiations of Trump\u2019s unfounded claims of widespread fraud in mail voting.\n <\/p>\n

\n The high court rejected Republican arguments that the practice, embraced by more than a dozen states, runs afoul of federal laws setting the November Election Day. Trump has repeatedly and falsely equated mail-in balloting and lengthy vote counts with \u201ccheating,\u201d even though he has voted by mail several times.\n <\/p>\n

\n Writing for a 5-4 court, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett described the dispute as a \u201cnarrow\u201d one, focused on the Mississippi law that counts \u201cballots postmarked by election day, but received up to five days later.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt and we cannot add to the words Congress chose,\u201d Barrett wrote, joined by Roberts and the court\u2019s three liberals.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cElection fraud and its appearance are serious issues,\u201d Barrett added. \u201cLike other such issues, however, they must be addressed through the democratic process.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump blasted the decision in a social media post, calling it a \u201ctremendous loss.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cNO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY DEPLOYMENT, OR TRAVEL!),\u201d Trump wrote.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump punished in the pocketbook\n<\/h2>\n

\n Just before the Supreme Court began handing down its opinion, it declined to take up Trump\u2019s appeal in the Carroll case. Per its normal practice, the court did not explain its reasoning and no justice publicly dissented.\n <\/p>\n

\n The court\u2019s decision means the president will now have to pay Carroll the $5 million, which was awarded to her several years ago by a jury in New York after it found that Trump defamed her when he claimed she made up her story that he sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump transferred $5.5 million to a court-controlled account in 2023 following the jury verdict so Carroll is likely to receive the cash relatively quickly.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump, who has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, has claimed US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the civil trial, made numerous errors by allowing the jury to hear testimony from two women who alleged Trump sexually assaulted them years ago.\n <\/p>\n

\nA view of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on June 25, 2026. The US Supreme Court on Thursday backed a Trump administration move to strip deportation protections from some 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians living in the United States. The conservative-dominated court, in a 6-3 ruling, said the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian immigrants was not subject to judicial review.
