CFPB's English sues Trump administration to block Mulvaney appointment
Source: American Banker
Leandra English, the deputy director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, sued the Trump administration late Sunday to block the appointment of Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as interim director of the consumer agency.
The lawsuit was filed by English herself, not the CFPB, leaving it unclear if it represents the official position of the agency. Sources said Sunday, however, that the agency's general counsel is preparing a memo supporting the Trump administration's position that Mulvaney is the acting director.
The lawsuit , English v. Trump, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking an injunction ordering President Trump to halt the Mulvaney appointment.
English was appointed deputy director on Friday as CFPB Director Richard Cordray stepped down, a role that would serve as acting director in the absence of a Senate-confirmed leader. But hours later, President Trump named Mulvaney as the acting director, leaving it unclear which of the two was the lawful head of the CFPB.
