A federal appeals court on Sept. 10 blocked the Trump administration’s attempted removal of a copyright official in the latest of many rulings questioning the president’s authority to fire government officials.

Earlier this year, the White House removed Shira Perlmutter from her position as director of the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed in the Library of Congress and registers copyright claims.
