Supreme Court gives Trump broad power to fire agency heads

June 29, 2026·23m

The Supreme Court issued rulings in a few major cases Monday, and the results were a mixed bag for President Trump. We discuss how the court expanded the president's power to fire the leaders of independent federal agencies but did not restrict mail-in ballots as Trump wanted. This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, Supreme Court & justice correspondent Carrie Johnson and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
