Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission member Moshe Marvit sues Trump over his firing
Moshe Marvit, a Biden-appointed commissioner at the independent Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission, sued President Trump on May 1 after being fired without stated cause. Marvit's term was set to expire in 2028, and federal law restricts removal of commissioners to cases of inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance. The lawsuit challenges Trump's authority to remove officials from independent agencies without cause.
