A federal appeals court pauses a lower court's order that reversed President Trump's actions at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The ruling left in place provisional agreements that block the Trump administration's efforts to fire staff or cancel contracts.
The pause is temporary and gives the appeals court time to consider a Justice Department request to put the order on hold while government lawyers try to have it reversed.
This action comes amid an ongoing saga of attempts to dismantle the CFPB, including plans for mass firings and termination of contracts.
