A federal judge ruled on March 12 against President Donald Trump in a case that could have major implications regarding his attempts to slash the size of the federal government.

U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan ruled that the president does not have the power to remove Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) Chairwoman Susan Tsui Grundmann, a Democrat, and ordered her to be reinstated.
