Supreme Court gives Trump broad power to fire agency heads

The Supreme Court issued rulings in a few major cases Monday, and the results were a mixed bag for President Trump. We discuss how the court expanded the president's power to fire the leaders of independent federal agencies but did not restrict mail-in ballots as Trump wanted.

This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, Supreme Court & justice correspondent Carrie Johnson and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith.
