Trump administration appeals to Supreme Court to fire Hampton Dellinger, head of Office of Special Counsel.

The Trump administration is appealing to the Supreme Court to allow the firing of Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which protects whistleblowers. Dellinger, appointed by Biden, argues he can only be dismissed for job performance issues, which were not cited in his dismissal. A lower court temporarily reinstated Dellinger, arguing his removal violated federal protections. The case could set a precedent for presidential authority over independent agency heads.
