Watch live: WH holds first briefing since consumer agency director clash

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will answer questions from reporters on Monday afternoon for the first time since President Trump announced that Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney would lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The deputy director of CFPB on Sunday night sued Trump in order to block Mulvaney from taking over as acting director of the regulatory agency.

Leandra English, who was tapped by former CFPB Director Richard Cordray to be the acting director, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Trump and Mulvaney.
