Hampton Dellinger has sued the Trump administration for unlawfully removing him from his position as Special Counsel and Head of the federal government's Office of Special Counsel. Dellinger was removed from his position in an email sent on behalf of President Trump, even though he was entitled to continue serving his five-year term in office and could only be removed if he had demonstrated inefficiency or neglect of duty. Dellinger argues that his termination violates the Administrative Procedure Act as well as the separation of powers defined in the Constitution.
