The brief
The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook at this time. However, the court's decision expanded presidential authority to fire officials at independent agencies.
Coverage from The New York Times, CNN, and BBC News emphasizes the dual nature of the ruling, noting that while Cook remains at the Fed, the executive branch's power over regulators has grown. The Hill reports that Trump applauded this expansion of firing power.
