  1. Appeals court allows #Trump admin to temporarily remove #watchdog lawyer #HamptonDellinger

    A federal appeals court on Wed allowed Trump to temporarily remove the head of an #independent watchdog agency who was investigating the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers.

    In a 2-pg order, the court granted the Trump admin’s request to stay a lower court ruling that blocked Trump from summarily firing #Dellinger, head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel.

  2. US Dist Judge #AmyBermanJackson’s ruling blocks the removal of #HamptonDellinger as head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel, which investigates #whistleblower reports filed by #GovernmentWorkers & protects #FederalEmployees from #retaliation, political #coercion & other practices that are barred in the fed workplace.
    
The #Trump admin has indicated in court filings that it would appeal any such ruling to #SCOTUS, which on Feb 21 declined to intervene until the litigation proceeded further.
