After the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's first director, Richard Cordray stepped down on Friday, President Trump tapped Mick Mulvaney, his director of the Office of Management and Budget, to be the acting director. Cordray had already elevated his chief of staff, Leandra English, to the position of deputy director, which made her the acting director upon Cordray’s departure. English has filed a suit asking for courts to confirm her as the director. English is dedicated to the mission of the CFPB, while Mulvaney, while in congress, voted to eliminate the agency.
