The US Supreme Court has, for the first time, become involved in a legal dispute over one of Donald Trump's executive orders. Trump had dismissed a government watchdog via an order, but a federal judge overturned this decision. This ruling temporarily prevents Trump from appointing Doug Collins to lead an office that investigates government misconduct and whistleblower retaliation. This case is part of several challenges to Trump's authority to remove officials from independent agencies, as he seeks to reduce federal bureaucracy and increase control over public employees.
