The Bureau of Labor Statistics has issued its first consumer inflation report since President Donald Trump fired the agency's head following a sour job report.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he was nominating economist E.J. Antoni as the new Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, 10 days after firing the agency's previous leader following a weak scorecard of the job market,

President Trump, who claimed former BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of manipulating jobs data, said Antoni would release "honest and accurate" numbers.
