A federal judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump acted illegally when he fired two Democratic members of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) board, Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka.
The court ordered their immediate reinstatement, finding that their removal violated federal law. This decision restores Democratic representation on the NCUA board, which oversees federal credit unions. The ruling highlights ongoing legal battles over the limits of presidential authority to remove independent agency officials.
The case has drawn attention from lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, who called the firings unlawful.
