Over 170 Democratic lawmakers are urging Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House budget director Russell Vought to remove members of the Department of Government Efficiency, run by Elon Musk, from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). They accuse President Trump of rewarding billionaires at the expense of ordinary Americans by dismantling the agency. The lawmakers claim that DOGE employees entered CFPB headquarters and requested access to sensitive information, putting consumer protection at risk. They demand that the operatives be removed, internal systems be restored, and the CFPB be allowed to continue its work. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who helped create the CFPB, supports this effort. Vought, who has taken over as acting head of the CFPB, issued directives to halt certain activities within the agency, leading to a lawsuit filed by a union over these actions. The Democrats are determined to fight the dismantling of the CFPB and are calling for the agency to be protected in order to fulfill its mission of safeguarding American consumers.
