The U.S. Supreme Court has paused the Trump administration’s attempt to fire Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel, allowing him to remain in his position at least until February 26. This decision comes after Dellinger, a Biden appointee, sued the administration following his dismissal on February 7. While liberal justices voted against the administration’s request to approve the firing, conservative justices expressed concern over the court’s authority to intervene in presidential actions. This case marks the first significant legal challenge related to personnel removals under Trump’s renewed presidency, amid ongoing legal battles over various executive actions since his return to the White House.
