Description
President Trump today unveiled a $12 billion farm aid package during a roundtable with Cabinet members and American farmers. The announcement comes as Beijing has pulled back on purchases of key commodities like soybeans, leaving some U.S. farmers struggling to sell their crops.
The Supreme Court is set to decide whether to scale back restrictions on a president’s ability to fire certain agency officials — including FTC Chair Rebecca Slaughter, whom President Trump removed in March. Oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter began today, with the Court appearing poised to lift some of those limits.
Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba announced today she is stepping down. Earlier this month, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower-court ruling disqualifying the Trump appointee on the grounds that she had not been confirmed by the Senate.
