The appeal is the start of what probably a steady stream of lawyers for the Republican president and his administration will be to reverse lower judgments from the lower court that have delayed his second-time agenda.
The application from the Ministry of Justice obtained by the Associated Press asks the Conservative Majority Court to eliminate the judicial order of a judge that Hampton Dellinger is temporarily restoring as the leader of the office of special counsel.
Dellinger has argued that the law says that he can only be dismissed for problems with the execution of his work, which none of them were cited who rejects him.
The petition came hours after a divided professional panel on procedural grounds refused to lift the order, which was submitted on Wednesday and expires on 26 February.
The case is not expected to be affected until the Supreme Court returns from the Presidents Day holiday weekend. The judges would only act on Tuesday on Tuesday.
It is not clear which reception Trump will get from the court -dominated court with three judges he nominated in his first term.
The case started last week when Dellinger denounced his removal as head of the Office of Special Counsel, which is responsible for monitoring the federal workforce against illegal personnel actions, such as retribution for clocksluid. He was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate until a period of five years in 2024.
Dellinger said that the work of the office “was now needed more than ever”, and the remarkable “number of dismissals”, for no reason, from federal employees with the protection of the civil service apparatus in recent weeks by the Trump administration.
The administration argues that the command that Dellinger is recovering for two weeks, while the court believes that the case is an unacceptable violation of executive power. De Korte quotes the decision of the Supreme Court that Trump gave immunity through criminal prosecution and reflected a muscular view of executive power.
The Independent Office of Special Counsel is independent of the special lawyers of the Ministry of Justice, such as Jack Smith, who are appointed by the Attorney General for specific studies, such as Smith’s criminal investigation into Trump before returning to the White House.
The dismissal of Dellinger was the newest step in Trump’s radical effort to reduce and reform the federal government, whereby the boundaries of established civil servants protection by testing Switch to the dismantling of federal agencies And push staff out.
