Perlmutter filed a complaint claiming the President acted unlawfully in removing her and naming a temporary replacement from the DOJ. The court ruled against her, citing that the injury of short-term removal does not warrant an injunction. Additionally, the court allowed her time to consider further legal actions regarding her claims of irreparable harm.
