Supreme Court of Delaware

Kelly v. Trump

July 7, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed dismissal of Meghan Kelly's complaint against Donald Trump. It held that Kelly's failure to perfect service was independently fatal to the appeal, declined to issue an advisory opinion on claims concerning Trump's former conduct in office, and concluded that her challenge to Executive Order 13798 was manifestly without merit because the order does not require government partnerships with religious organizations. The Court also held that pending motions were moot.
