Judge temporarily reinstalls fired head of whistleblower protection office

U.S. Judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated Hampton Dellinger as head of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel after he was fired by the Trump administration.
Dellinger filed a lawsuit claiming his dismissal lacked justification and violated U.S. Law regarding special counsel removals.
The judge's order prohibits the Trump administration from denying Dellinger access to office resources or recognizing any other person as special counsel.
Dellinger was appointed by former President Joe Biden and confirmed in 2024 to lead the OSC, which oversees whistleblower protections.
