Judge Rejects Block on Copyright Office Director Removal | JQJO

A federal judge denied a temporary restraining order to block the Trump administration's removal of the U.S. Copyright Office director, Shira Perlmutter. Judge Timothy Kelly ruled Perlmutter hadn't demonstrated irreparable harm. The lawsuit continues, with a potential preliminary injunction hearing to be scheduled. Perlmutter's lawyers argue the president lacks authority to remove her. This follows recent Supreme Court decisions allowing Trump to dismiss other board members.
