US Sen. Warren predicts appeal in legal battle over consumer agency

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Tuesday she has "no doubt" the legal fight over who is the proper leader of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will continue to a U.S. appeals court after a district court judge renders a verdict.

"It’s too important to everyone to let it rest at the district court. The parties are entitled to take an appeal to the Court of Appeals, and I have no doubt they will," Warren, who helped establish the CFPB, said in a brief interview with Reuters.

Leandra English, the agency's deputy director, is suing the Trump administration over who is the proper acting director. She is seeking a temporary restraining order barring the Trump administration from filling that job, and the case is pending before a U.S. district court in Washington.
