CFPB deputy director sues Trump to block Mulvaney as interim leader

The Hill reports:

The deputy director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Sunday night sued President Trump in order to block Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney from taking over as acting director of the agency.

Leandra English, who was tapped by former Director Richard Cordray to be the acting director, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Trump and Mulvaney, whom the president nominated to be CFPB's interim leader.

The office of the CFPB’s head council is expected to challenge her suit, claiming Trump has the authority to override the bureau’s line of succession, Reuters reported Sunday night.

Who knew that progressives were now so brazen as to think that somewhere in the U.S. Constitution heads of agencies can be appointed by someone other than the President of the United States!
