President Donald Trump won a legal fight over who gets to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau -- at least for now.
His budget director Mick Mulvaney can remain as acting head of the agency, a federal judge ruled in rejecting a request to temporarily block the move from Leandra English, who was named to the role by the departing director. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly in Washington rebuffed English, who sued on Nov. 26, contending she is entitled to the provisional post.
