President Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court on July 14 to lift a lower court order blocking his firing of three Biden appointees at the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The new legal filing is part of the president’s effort to remove personnel from independent federal agencies whose appointees traditionally have been shielded from termination without cause.
