Why the financial industry is celebrating a Supreme Court ruling — for now

Jun 29, 2020

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court on Monday ruled that the president can fire the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau "at will." That's seemingly a victory for the financial industry, which has been locked in a never-ending tug-of-war with the CFPB since it was established in 2010, but the celebration may not last forever, HuffPost reports. Prior to the ruling, the CFPB director could only be fired for cause, namely "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." The reason behind the distinction is that the post comes with a 5-year term, which means the director could serve under the president of a different party, so the for-cause rule makes it more challenging for a president to terminate the director for partisan, political reasons.

Colbert grills Bolton as 'naive,' asks how he didn't know Trump is 'just callow'

Jun 24, 2020

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton faced a formidable interview opponent on The Late Show this week. Bolton's latest TV appearance to promote his new book was on Stephen Colbert's Late Show on Tuesday, and it was far from a softball interview, with Colbert grilling Bolton and at numerous points laughing out loud at his answers. Bolton's statement, for example, that many Republicans back President Trump because he won't be subject "to the pressure of the left" like his Democratic alternative, Colbert immediately chuckled, interjecting, "No, he's going to be subject to the pressure of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping!" From there, Colbert said it's "exasperating" that Bolton, who has published a tell-all book about his time in the White House, is expressing surprise at the behavior from Trump he alleges he witnessed, asking, "How did you not know beforehand that he was just callow?" "Because I couldn't believe it was that bad," Bolton responded, an answer that earned another huge laugh from Colbert, who questioned how Bolton could be "naive" like this.

Trump's tweets contradict administration's claims that Bolton's book is full of classified information

John Bolton's book is somehow both "lies" and "classified information," President Trump and his team are claiming. Before the former national security adviser published his White House memoir The Room Where It Happened, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to get its publication delayed, claiming Bolton didn't submit the manuscript for a White House review and was set to air "classified information." But now that the book is in the hands of journalists and Bolton's grievances are out in the world, Trump has pivoted to decrying the book's alleged "lies and fake stories." Bolton's book claims Trump encouraged China's president to build concentration camps, called for journalists to be executed, and asserts Trump should've been impeached for more than just his Ukraine scandal.
