The Trump Administration has significantly restricted the operations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), led by Russell Vought. This move results from a broader agenda to eliminate regulatory oversight established after the 2007-2008 financial crisis, when the CFPB was created to protect consumers from unfair financial practices. As it stands, the CFPB is directed to halt investigations and rule processes, posing challenges to consumer rights and protections established under the Dodd-Frank Act initiated by the Obama administration. Despite limitations on the CFPB, its framework remains crucial for consumer financial advocacy.
