TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TURNS TO US SUPREME COURT IN BID TO FIRE AGENCY HEAD
NEWS Desk Global
President Donald Trump's administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in its bid to fire the head of an independent U.S. agency that protects government whistleblowers, bringing its first legal battle involving Trump's actions to the nation's highest judicial body since he took office in January.
The Justice Department asked the court to immediately lift a federal judge's February 12 order that temporarily blocked Trump's removal of Hampton Dellinger as the head of the Office of Special Counsel while litigation continues in the dispute. The case has not yet been docketed by the court.
