In response to President Trump's dismissal of Democratic members from independent agency boards, Jeff Hauser, Executive Director of The Revolving Door Project, condemns the action as an authoritarian power grab and a disregard for the rule of law. Hauser emphasizes the significance of these agencies in shaping public life and urges Congress to fight back against Trump's attempts to control them.
In response to President Trump ’s lawless actions, Executive Director of The Revolving Door Project, Jeff Hauser released the following statement: Donald Trump has now illegally fired multiple Democratic members of independent agency boards, including Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board and Jocelyn Samuels and Charlotte Burrows from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, years before their actual term expiry dates.
It is exactly this power that Trump seeks to fundamentally corrupt. Senators could fight back with the full extent of the power that remains in their hands to engage in principled and coordinated opposition to these authoritarian power grabs. Indeed, recent years have already demonstrated masterful tactical obstructionism without any electoral consequence. It’s time to take note.
