Leandra English, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, filed a lawsuit Sunday night seeking a restraining order to block White House budget director Mick Mulvaney from taking charge of the agency, according to news reports. English, who was named acting CFPB director by former director Richard Cordray, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Washington against President Donald Trump and Mulvaney, who Trump named the agency’s temporary director on Friday. English’s suit claims she is the rightful director under procedures spelled out by the Dodd-Frank Act.
