You’re Fired: President Trump Boots Three Democrats from Consumer Product Safety CommissionAmy Furr 9 May 2025
Three Democrats on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) who were appointed by former President Joe Biden (D) are out of a job after President Donald Trump fired them.
The Hill reported on Friday that a White House official revealed the information to the outlet regarding Richard Trumka Jr., Mary Boyle, and Alexander Hoehn-Saric.
The article continued:
Trumka and Boyle received notice of their firings, while Hoehn-Saric did not, though he and his staff were locked out of the building, sources who spoke to The Hill indicated.
The three Democrats were fired after the Department of Government Efficiency visited the CPSC office in Bethesda, MD, on Thursday, The Washington Post reported. They told the Post that they plan to fight the move in the courts.
The Hill said Trump’s view is that the president has the authority to make such moves regarding independent agencies.
The three firings are not the only ones to take place in recent months after Trump took office again in January.
In March, he fired both Democrat members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Breitbart News reported.
