Trump official removed after illegally serving 424 days as head of the Bureau of Land Management: report

Yet another Donald Trump official has found himself in trouble with the law for running a federal agency without Senate confirmation.

“federal judge ruled Friday that the Trump administration’s leading steward of public lands has been serving unlawfully and has blocked him from continuing in the position. U.S. District Judge Brian Morris said U.S. Bureau of Land Management acting director William Perry Pendley served unlawfully for 424 days without being confirmed to the post by the U.S. Senate,” the Associated Press reported Friday.

BLM was sued by Gov. Steve Bullock (D-MT), who is challenging Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) in the 2020 election.

Trump said he was nominating Pendley in June. But the nomination was withdrawn earlier this month after the confirmation process threatened to become contentious, potentially disrupting key U.S. Senate races in Colorado and Montana, where Bullock is seeking to unseat incumbent Republican Steve Daines,” the Associated Press reported. “But Pendley continued to hang on to the post, under an arrangement that Pendley himself set up months ago. In a May 22 order, Pendley made his own position, deputy director, the bureau’s top post while the director’s office is vacant.”
