The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel will be allowed to remain in his position despite the Trump administration’s request to fire him.
Dellinger, appointed by former President Joe Biden in October 2023, was fired by President Donald Trump on Feb. 7. Dellinger quickly sued the Trump administration after his removal and received approval from a lower court to temporarily remain in his position. However, the Trump administration filed an emergency application to the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting the justices rule on the matter.
In a filing submitted Friday evening, however, the majority of justices declined to back the Trump administration’s appeal, allowing Dellinger to stay in his position temporarily. RELATED: Legacy Media Outlet Sues Trump Admin After Being Barred From White House Events
