The CFPB and the National Treasury Employees Union are preparing for a court appearance regarding allegations that the Trump administration unlawfully tried to undermine the agency. An email from Martinez indicated concerns about employees not performing legally mandated work, despite Acting CFPB Director Russell Vought's earlier instructions to cease operations without prior approval. Vought's actions included canceling significant contracts and restricting operations, raising questions about the agency's functionality and compliance with statutory requirements.
Despite directing CFPB employees to fulfill required-by-law duties, Vought canceled over $100 million in contracts and halted consumer complaint reporting and other operations.
The email, sent Sunday, came just before the CFPB and the National Treasury Employees Union are set to appear before Judge Amy Berman Jackson for a hearing.
