A federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump unlawfully fired Democratic Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, ordering her reinstatement and declaring the removal violated federal law. The decision challenges presidential authority over independent agencies and could have far-reaching implications for the separation of powers and agency independence. The Trump administration has appealed the ruling, and a U.S. appeals court has temporarily blocked Slaughter's return while the legal battle continues. This case is part of a broader conflict over the president's power to reshape independent regulatory bodies. The outcome may set a precedent for how future presidents interact with and control independent federal agencies.
