Biden Wins Dismissal of Sean Spicer Suit Over US Naval Board Firing
(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden won dismissal of a lawsuit by former White House press secretary Sean Spicer over his firing from a board of the US Naval Academy that advises the commander-in-chief.
Spicer and former Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought, who were named to the naval panel by former president Donald Trump and dismissed after Biden took office, have no right to remain on the board if the current president doesn’t want their counsel, US District Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled Monday.
The Trump allies sued in September to retain their positions, alleging that Biden didn’t have the legal authority to remove them.
Interpreting the law “to insulate the plaintiffs from removal would raise serious constitutional issues” when the only role of such board members is “to advise the President on the performance of a quintessentially executive function,” wrote Friedrich, who is a Trump appointee.
