Trump appointees sue Biden admin over 'illegal removal' from Naval Academy's Board of Visitors

America First Legal sued President Joe Biden's administration on behalf of Sean Spicer and Russ Vought for its removal of the two men from the Board of Visitors of the U.S. Naval Academy.

In a statement attached to the press release, AFL Vice-President and General Counsel Gene Hamilton insisted that Spicer and Vought "have every right to serve every single day remaining in their terms."

"Sean Spicer and Russ Vought are American patriots who were appointed to positions on the Board of Visitors at the United States Naval Academy because of their ability to contribute to the Board with their unique skills and tremendous experiences," Hamilton said. "President Biden’s threatened dismissal of them before their terms expire–from the purely advisory Board of Visitors, an entity that exercises no executive power whatsoever–violates the law. Our clients have every right to serve every single day remaining in their terms. But even if the Biden Administration prevails in its arguments, President Biden has perhaps unwittingly created a precedent that will be followed by all future administrations."
