CFPB Interim Director Sues Trump to Block Mulvaney


The Deputy Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and Interim Director, on Sunday night Sued President Trump and Office of Management Budget Director Mick Mulvaney for Control of the Agency.

Leandra English filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Trump and Mulvaney, who the President Nominated to be the Acting CFPB Director.

English’s Complaint Claims that She is the rightful Acting Director of the CFPB, and that the Court should Bar Mulvaney from taking the Post.

English Claims that the Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that lay out the CFPB’s Line of Succession Supersedes the Federal Vacancies Act, which Trump used to Nominate Mulvaney. This Dodd-Frank Act says the current Director can put the Deputy Direct in Charge as Interim Director, before they leave, without Senate Confirmation.

Trump can Nominate a Director but then would have to go through Senate Confirmation.
