Trump administration can remove head of federal watchdog agency, appeals court rules

President Trump leaves the chamber after addressing a joint session of Congress on Tuesday. The administration is locked in a legal battle over the firing of the head of a federal watchdog agency.

A U.S. appeals court has sided with the administration in allowing the removal of Hampton Dellinger from the Office of Special Counsel. The office investigates actions like whistleblower retaliation.
