The Supreme Court on Thursday said President Donald Trump doesn’t have to rehire senior officials he fired from two independent federal labor agencies that enforce worker protections, while the officials continue fighting in court to reverse their terminations.

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to halt lower court rulings voiding removals of members from two labor boards.

The court also sought to allay concerns voiced by critics that letting him fire the two officials would jeopardize the independence of the Federal Reserve.
