In a recent legal move, former President Donald Trump requested the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a temporary restraining order that prevents him from removing Hampton Dellinger, the head of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. This action is part of a broader effort to dismiss independent federal officials. The 2-1 appeals court decision noted that allowing an appeal of the temporary order before a full trial could set an unusual precedent, while a dissenting judge remarked that such a blockage of presidential power is uncommon.
