Examining Presidential Power in Federal Appointments

P.M. Edition for Aug. 27. Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook has vowed to fight President Trump’s effort to remove her from her post—a legal challenge likely to end up in front of the Supreme Court. WSJ Supreme Court correspondent Jess Bravin talks about the legal precedents for the president’s moves, and how such a case might be decided. Plus, we have the latest on the shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis that left two children dead. And the FBI says that Salt Typhoon, the Beijing-linked yearslong espionage campaign, was much more extensive than investigators had previously understood. WSJ editor Aruna Viswanatha joins to discuss just how huge it really was. Alex Ossola hosts.
