The Supreme Court dealt President Donald Trump's agenda major blows June 29 when it comes to regulating the economy and targeting mail-in voting, but also issued a historic decision expanding his control over federal agencies.
In split decisions, the justices blocked Trump from immediately firing Lisa Cook, a governor on the board of the Federal Reserve, and upheld a Mississippi law that allowed mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted later.
The court also rejected Trump's appeal against a $5 million judgment awarded to New York writer E. Jean Carroll after a jury concluded he sexually abused and defamed her – claims he denies.
However, the court also backed Trump's firing of a Democratic appointee to the Federal Trade Commission, Rebecca Slaughter, in a 6-3 decision overturning a 90-year-old legal precedent that limited presidential firing powers.
