A commissioner fired by President Donald Trump sued the president on April 9, alleging that he violated federal law by terminating her.
Jocelyn Samuels, a former Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) commissioner, said she was fired in January in an email from a White House official that said she tried to “impose an expansive and improper DEI agenda on America’s workplaces,” and was involved with “furthering a series of race-based initiatives that are themselves mired in racism.”
