Tо slаsh the size аnd scоpe оf the federаl government, the Trump administration has taken actions designed to reduce the federal workforce, lessen agencies’ funding, dismantle agencies, and halt federal contracts. Mr. Hampton Dellinger assumed the role of head of the Office of Special Counsel under the Biden administration in 2024. As an independent, investigative agency, it exposes (i.e., uncovers) unethical or unlawful practices in the federal workplace, protects whistleblowers who report wrongdoings, and enforces laws on political activity by government employees. The Trump administration fired Mr. Dellinger via email on February 7th, 2025, but he challenged the termination. He argued that federal law declares that special counsels can only be removed for-cause or “for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance (i.e., wrongdoing) in office,” and the administration, he added, provided no explanation for his termination in the email. Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for D.C. reinstated (i.e., returned) Mr. Dellinger to his position on February 12th. The Trump administration appealed her decision, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned the ruling on March 5th, allowing for Mr. Dellinger’s termination while the case proceeded through the legal system. The next step, of course, was the Supreme Court. However, before both parties could meet on the steps of the Supreme Court, Mr. Dellinger abruptly announced (via letter) that he planned to drop his impending legal challenge against the Trump administration on March 6th, citing personal and political reasons. On March 6th, in response to Mr. Dellinger’s letter, the justices of the Supreme Court dismissed the case of Bessent, SEC, et al. v. Dellinger (2025) because it no longer involved a “live” controversy or dispute between the two parties (i.e., The case was irrelevant.).
