Charlotte Burrows, a Democratic member and former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission fired by Republican President Donald Trump, has hired a pair of Washington lawyers known for pursuing high-profile employment and sexual misconduct allegations.

President Donald Trump fired two Democratic commissioners on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission late on Monday night, likely violating legal statute.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission members Charlotte A. Burrows and Jocelyn Samuels, both Democrats, said they were fired by President Donald Trump late Monday.
