Hampton Dellinger will remain at the Office of Special Counsel, for now
The Supreme Court has temporarily halted President Trump's attempt to immediately fire Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel, due to an ongoing legal challenge. The Court has put Trump's request "in abeyance," delaying a decision until after a lower court hearing on February 26. Justices Sotomayor and Jackson indicated they would have denied the request. This case is part of several lawsuits challenging Trump's administration, which has faced over three dozen legal actions over its policies and actions.
