Supreme Court Halts Trump’s Move Against Whistleblower Chief! ⚖️❗️ #Whistleblower #SupremeCourt
– The U.S. Supreme Court has paused the Trump administration’s attempt to fire Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel, allowing him to remain in his position until at least February 26.
– The Trump administration sought to overturn a lower court’s decision that temporarily reinstated Dellinger, who was appointed by President Biden.
– Liberal justices voted against the administration’s request, while conservative justices expressed concerns about the authority of courts to reinstate a fired official.
– Dellinger filed a lawsuit after his firing, arguing he could only be dismissed for job performance issues, which were not cited in his dismissal.
– This case marks the first legal challenge regarding firings under the Trump administration to reach the Supreme Court.
– The Trump administration has faced numerous legal challenges since January 20, including lawsuits related to executive orders and immigration policies.
