Trump Goes To Supreme Court To Resist Rehiring Fired Federal Workers

President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court Monday to block a ruling by a lower court that demanded the White House rehire thousands of fired government workers.

The administration has been thwarted or held up by judges in a number of its signature policy initiatives, including on immigration and upending government spending.

A California judge had ordered the White House to reinstate the more than 16,000 probationary workers the Trump administration let go as part of its push to slash the federal wage bill.
