Judge Timothy Kelly of the District Court of the District of Columbia has denied a request for a restraining order that would have prevented White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney from becoming the interim chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
By denying the restraining order, filed by CFPB Deputy Director Leandra English, Judge Kelly has essentially sided with the Trump administration that Mulvaney, and not English, runs the CFPB following the resignation of its Director, Richard Cordray.
