On January 27, 2025, the president removed National Labor Relations Board Member Gwynne A. Wilcox, leaving the Board with only two members: Chair Marvin E. Kaplan, a Republican, and Member David M. Prouty, a Democrat. That same day, the president also removed NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, and on February 1, 2025, fired her successor, Acting General Counsel Jessica Rutter. To date, the White House has not designated a new acting general counsel but is widely expected to do so shortly.
