What is the current status of Hampton Dellinger's job as head of the Office of Special Counsel?
Hampton Dellinger has successfully maintained his position despite being fired by Trump. After his termination on a Friday night, Dellinger sued on Monday morning and immediately secured legal protection. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump from firing him, which will remain in place until at least February 26th. This order prevents Trump's replacement from taking office as acting special counsel. Currently, Dellinger remains in office with full access to his workplace while the Supreme Court considers the broader constitutional questions about presidential power to remove agency heads.
