Another Biden holdover in the Executive Branch caught up in President Trump’s firing spree filed a lawsuit to get his job back – and a corrupt Obama judge sided with him.

As previously reported, President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) on Friday.

“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Special Counsel of the US Office of Special Counsel is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service,” Sergio Gor, Director of the White House Presidential Office wrote to Hampton Dellinger, according to Politico.

Excerpt:

On Monday, a federal judge will decide whether or not to block a buyout offer for federal employees as the Trump Administration moves to shrink the federal workforce.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered most federal employees the opportunity to leave their jobs with full pay and benefits through Sept. 30, if they resigned by Feb. 6. The OPM announced that most employees who accept the “deferred resignation” would be exempt from in-person work requirements.

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole said he would hear arguments on whether an emergency restraining order against the offer should be granted, so the White House announced it would extend the deadline for employees to resign until Monday, Feb. 10 at 11:59 p.m.

What’s happening right now is that Democrats, having been thrown out of power by American voters in a landslide victory for Trump, have decided they’re going to deploy a widely-used tactic from Trump’s first term to thwart the president’s agenda: use the federal judiciary. Under the false pretext that the federal judiciary is a “coequal branch of government” with the executive, they’re aiming to shut down Trump’s reform efforts with a fusillade of preliminary injunctions.

In recent days dozens of lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration by Democrat attorneys general and various left-wing groups. These groups have carefully selected their venues, ensuring the lawsuits come before rabidly anti-Trump activist judges. So far, the tactic seems to be working. As of this past weekend, eight different rulings from the federal bench have temporarily halted the president’s executive orders.

Federal judges in Democrat-majority districts have issued preliminary injunctions blocking Trump’s executive actions to end birthright citizenship, reform and downsize the United States Agency for International Development, and offer buyouts to federal bureaucrats. A federal judge this past weekend blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and all other political appointees in the Trump administration — including the Treasury secretary and his deputies — from accessing payment data at the Treasury Department.

  • Geoff Bennett:

    Today, a federal judge said that President Donald Trump violated his order that lifted a blanket freeze on federal spending and again directed the administration to release the funds.

  • Amna Nawaz:

    That as top prosecutors in nearly half the country just won a temporary legal victory, restoring medical research funding stripped late last week.

    White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez joins us now for more.

    So, Laura, with three weeks into the Trump administration, you’re seeing a growing number of federal judges describe the president’s actions as overreach. What more did federal judges say about Mr. Trump’s attempts to free some of those federal funds.

  • Laura Barron-Lopez:

    So, on that sweeping freeze of federal funding, District Judge John McConnell said in a ruling today that the Trump administration’s continued freeze of those funds — quote — “violate the plain text of an order” that he previously issued saying that they needed to stop and that they needed to release all of those funds.

    And Judge McConnell called Trump’s actions — quote — “likely unconstitutional” and said that the freeze continues to — quote — “cause irreparable harm” to much of the country. Now, he didn’t hold any government officials in contempt, criminal contempt, but hinted that he might in the future if they violate this order.

    And he specifically ordered the administration to stop freezing money for the infrastructure law, for the Inflation Reduction Act — those are Biden era laws — as well as said that he needed — that the administration needed to release funding for the National Institutes of Health.

    So the big question here, Amna, is, does the Trump administration comply with this judge’s order? I asked the White House. They didn’t answer that question. And there’s some suggestions from people like Vice President Vance as well as Elon Musk that they think that the administration should defy the court orders.

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance seem to be gearing up for a battle about the separation of powers after weighing in on whether the federal judiciary should be able to curtail executive authority.

Early Saturday morning, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a ruling that temporarily blocks Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from gaining access to the payment system of the Treasury Department, which is under the purview of the executive branch. The judge also ordered anyone outside the Treasury Department who has already gained access to the system to destroy all downloaded information.

Musk and DOGE have attempted to audit the agency to uncover possible fraud, waste, and other inefficiencies.

Engelmayer’s ruling is set to expire on Friday, when a hearing will be held before a federal judge in New York, who will consider the issue on a more permanent basis. The case was brought by 19 state attorneys general — all Democrats — who argued that Musk and DOGE should not have access to sensitive data within the payment system.

President Donald Trump told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview ahead of the Super Bowl that he “100%” disagrees with a judge’s order barring DOGE from accessing the Treasury.

President Donald Trump “100 percent” disagrees with a federal judge’s ruling on Saturday that bars the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the Treasury Department, he said during an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier.

“Nineteen states attorneys general filed a lawsuit, and early Saturday a judge agreed with them to restrict Elon Musk and his government efficiency team, DOGE, from accessing Treasury Department payment and data systems. They said there was a risk of ‘irreparable harm.’ What do you make of that? And does that slow you down and what you want to do?” Baier asked Trump in the interview clip.

“No, I disagree with it 100%. I think it’s crazy. And we have to solve the efficiency problem. We have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse, all the things that have gone into the government. You take a look at the USAID, the kind of fraud in there,” Trump responded.

Excerpt:

Tech mogul and free speech advocate Elon Musk has called for the impeachment of an Obama-appointed federal judge after a controversial decision to block the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing a crucial Treasury payment system.

The ruling, handed down by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, effectively cripples the department’s ability to carry out its mandate to root out waste and streamline government spending.

Judge Engelmayer’s ruling, prompted by a lawsuit from 19 far-left state attorneys general led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, claims that DOGE’s access to Treasury systems poses risks of “disclosure of sensitive and confidential information” and increases the “risk that the systems in question will be more vulnerable than before to hacking.”

Excerpt:

Elon Musk is calling for the impeachment of the federal judge who made a decision early Saturday morning that the Treasury Department should block access to anyone “other than civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties” from its payment systems.

The order explicitly prohibits special government employees and those detailed from outside the department from getting access to the systems, a designation that would cover Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

That appeared to anger Musk, who expressed his irritation in a few Saturday posts on the social platform X, which he owns.

“A corrupt judge protecting corruption,” Musk wrote in one post at 2:11 a.m. “He needs to be impeached NOW.”

That post was written in reply to a post by the conservative media pundit Glenn Beck.

Musk, the leader of DOGE, in an earlier post at 1:40 a.m. wrote “it’s time” in response to another post about impeaching judges who have ruled against actions by the Trump administration.

Excerpt:

Elon Musk ignited a firestorm on social media after a federal judge issued an order temporarily blocking the department of government efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive treasury department data. Musk responded with a barrage of posts on X (formerly Twitter), alleging widespread fraud in government entitlement payments.
The order, issued on Saturday by US district judge Paul Engelmayer, supports a lawsuit filed by 19 Democratic state attorneys general. They argue that granting DOGE “full access” to the Treasury’s payment systems violates federal laws safeguarding sensitive data, including social security, medicare, veterans benefits, and tax refund information. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for February 20. Until then, DOGE will have limited access to treasury data.

“If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal,” Vance wrote on X. “If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal.”

“Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” he continued.
