I've never seen anything like this. The Trump admin just granted preliminary approval of a federal bank charter to the family's crypto firm World Liberty Financial. Remember: Trump raked in almost $800 million from WLF last year. No president has used their power to profit the way Trump has.

Nothing in the agency cases held that Trump could simply shut down an agency of Congress’s creation. That’s what he has done with the election Assistance commission which now lacks commissioners to act. It’s taking the courts cases to the ultimate conclusion and just disabling an important agency.
