White House counsel Will Scharf on Thursday singled out a landmark Supreme Court ruling expanding President Donald Trump’s authority over independent federal agencies as the judicial victory he is proudest of helping secure, calling it the correction of a “historic constitutional wrong.”

Speaking at the Federalist Society’s annual National Lawyers Convention in Washington on Thursday morning, Scharf identified the high court’s June decision in Trump v. Slaughter as a defining victory for the administration’s efforts to bring executive branch agencies under presidential control.
