Trump Fires Both Democrat FTC Commissioners: 'Major Implications' for the Federal Reserve

Both Democrat members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) were fired by President Donald Trump on Tuesday in a shocking move that may have “major implications for the independence of the Fed,” according to a former official. The post Trump Fires Both Democrat FTC Commissioners: ‘Major Implications’ for the Federal Reserve appeared first on Breitbart.



President Trump fired Democratic FTC Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a move they and others claim is illegal and threatens the independence of the Federal Reserve. The firings leave two Republicans on the commission. Experts suggest this action could be a warning to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, with some arguing Trump has the legal authority to remove him. Legal challenges to the firings are expected.
