US Chief Justice John Roberts let President Donald Trump temporarily oust top officials at two independent agencies while the Supreme Court decides how to handle a new showdown over presidential power.
Roberts’ order Wednesday puts on hold a federal appeals court decision that had let National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board member Cathy Harris go back to work. Roberts said his order will last until either he or the full court issues a longer-term decision.
