A U.S. District Court judge in Washington has ruled in favor of President Donald Trump in his bid to install White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Judge Timothy Kelly on Tuesday declined to stop, on an emergency basis, the president from making Mulvaney the acting director of the CFPB.
In doing so, Kelly ruled against Leandra English, the CFPB's deputy director. English had requested an emergency restraining order to stop Mulvaney from becoming acting director, claiming the position was rightfully hers.
President Donald Trump celebrated the ruling on Twitter, calling it, "A big win for the Consumer!"
English's lawyer said they are evaluating their legal options and deciding "how to proceed next."
美国华盛顿一位地区法官裁决，支持川普总统让白宫预算局长米克.马瓦尼担任消费者金融保护局代理局长的决定。
凯利法官星期二拒绝以紧急情况为由制止川普总统让马瓦尼担任消费者金融保护局代理局长。
凯利法官的裁决等于驳回了消费者金融保护局副局长英格利希的要求。英格利希要求法院发出紧急禁令，不让马瓦尼担任代理局长。英格利希称，她才是合法的继任者。
川普总统在推特上大赞法官的裁决，称之为“消费者金融保护局的重大胜利”。
英格利希的律师说，他们正在考虑各种法律选项，决定“下一步要如何行动”。
