Charlotte Burrows, one of the Democratic members on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission who was fired by President Donald Trump has hired legal representation.

No president has ever fired an EEOC commissioner before, but Trump wants to stop them from promoting diversity in the workplace.

Both commissioners, who worked for the EEOC, said they are exploring options to challenge their dismissals, calling their removal before the end of their current terms unprecedented.

President Donald Trump fired one of the Democratic commissioners on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission late on Monday night

The White House fired Democrats Charlotte Burrows and Jocelyn Samuels from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), they each said.

The Democratic commissioners hadn't completed their terms before the White House notified them that they were being removed.

U.S. President Donald Trump has fired at least two Democratic members of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces federal laws banning workplace discrimination, in an unprecedented move likely to spur legal challenges.

The removals of the commissioners, along with the general counsel, were part of a whirlwind of actions since Mr. Trump took office, with many aiming to gut diversity policies.
