Hampton Dellinger, the former head of the Office of Special Counsel, has decided to end his legal battle over his removal by former President Donald Trump.
His decision comes after a federal appeals court ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing the dismissal to stand. Dellinger had been fighting to retain his position, arguing that his removal was unjustified. However, following the court's ruling, he announced he would no longer pursue the case.
This marks the end of a legal dispute over the independence of federal watchdog agencies under the Trump administration.
