Temporary restraining order to stop Trump's pick for CFPB is DENIED!

In a victory for the Trump White House, a temporary restraining order to halt the president's pick for acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFBP), Mick Mulvaney, was denied by a judge late Tuesday though the decision is likely to be appealed.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled in favor of Trump in his effort to appoint White House budget director Mulvaney to lead the bureau, the nation's top financial watchdog agency.

“Denying the president’s authority to appoint Mr. Mulvaney raises significant constitutional questions,” Kelly, a Trump nominee for the bench, said.

CONSUMER AGENCY OFFICIAL SUES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OVER ITS LEADERSHIP

The ruling comes after a nasty partisan spat that pitted the Trump administration against an Obama-era holdout to lead the bureau.

Leandra English was elevated to acting deputy director Friday when Richard Cordray resigned. The fight over who would lead the bureau bled into the weekend and on Sunday, English filed an emergency restraining order to keep Mulvaney from taking control.

Hope Leandra is getting her resume updated.

The new director's first job should be firing Leandra and appointing a NEW deputy director. That should clear things up for her.
