BATTLE OVER CFPB POST HEADS TO COURT AS CORDRAY SUCCESSOR SUES PRESIDENT TRUMP
- On a holiday weekend that was probably filled with awkward conversations between family members across the country, it seems somehow appropriate that a similar dynamic is unfolding in Washington, D.C. Richard Cordray officially resigned as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Friday, and named Leandra English as the agency’s deputy director, crowning her as his replacement. But President Trump moved forward with his own plan and named Mick Mulvaney, the head of the White House Office of Management and Budget, as the interim director of the agency. In the latest development, English has filed a lawsuit against the president, claiming her right to the post, and wants a temporary restraining order blocking Mulvaney’s appointment. So is it first-come, first-served this morning to determine who gets to sit in Cordray’s old office?
