Supreme Court Issues Rulings on Executive Authority, Defamation Case
July 21, 2026
WASHINGTON D.C. — The Supreme Court on Monday delivered rulings concerning actions by former President Donald Trump, affecting both federal appointments and a civil judgment.
Justices blocked Trump's effort to dismiss Lisa Cook, a governor on the Federal Reserve board. Concurrently, the court upheld his dismissal of Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic appointee to the Federal Trade Commission.
The Supreme Court also rejected an appeal by the former president regarding a $5 million civil verdict. A jury awarded this amount in a defamation and sexual abuse case brought by E. Jean Carroll. Laura Jarrett of TODAY reported on the development.
